Top Secret Mechanics Trick 2! HOW TO remove extremely rusty exhaust nuts FAST without heat.

In this video I demonstrate the fastest and most efficient way to remove extremely rusty exhaust hardware without heat! Never use a torch again to remove rusted exhaust stud nuts. This work on all nuts not just exhaust or rusted. Works for stripped nuts also. Anything you can't grab with a wrench or socket. Not only can your remove any nut in less than 1 minuet, but this process also 100% saves the threads on the stud. The treads inside are always perfect and will accept a new nut.

Now that's what I call a professional tutorial. No lengthy stories, straight to the solution. Good job

From a retired toolmaker from Australia a very excellent tutorial of the process with no waffle just facts .This 76 year old fella just learnt another helpful life tip .Thank You

My dad taught me that trick with a hand chisel back in the 1970's. He learned it back in the 1930's, Nice to see that not all older methods have been totally forgotten. Still, now that I'm older and II cheat and use a nutcracker where I can.

I’m finally glad someone told us how get off swollen rusty nuts . I was so impressed I made my wife watch this.

Perfect tutorial, no waffle, straight to the point and very well explained. Thank you 👍👍.

Pretty slick! For less rusted but hopelessly stuck nuts that you really want to save, clamp a pair of Vise-Grips on the nut as hard as you can. That forces the thread together in the direction it is being clamped and opening up a small gap 90 degrees from it. Spray penetrant oil on the end, letting the fluid wick in. Repeat on as many pairs of faces as you can, then use the usual tools to remove the nut. It will still fight, but at least 3/4 of the time I simply could not get a nut loose this made it happen.

Awesome, had to remove exhaust on my truck, the nuts on my exhaust flange looked just like these, thought I'd be cutting them off with hot wrench and replacing studs, took a chance and watched this, within 20 minutes after watching I had everything off, saved me at least 90 minutes of work. Thanks so

Hey MotorMike....
I used your method EXACTLY on my Toyota exhaust flange. My flange looked much like in this video. Viola! It worked perfectly!!! and as you said, the threads on this rusted stud under the nut were perfect while the rest of the stud was corroded. I was so exited that this worked. Thanks for your video.

Main problem is that most of the time you need to remove those nuts in areas where little to no access is present. E.g. Exhaust manifold

Great tip, well explained, good pacing on the video. Thanks for putting this together!

I’m a beginner technician at work rn and this completely saved my day, THANK

[spacefury]

Thanks for the straight forward video... If you DON'T have air tools or hammer-drills, you can use a dremel with reinforced cutting wheel and cut a groove into the nut and pry with a flat-head screwdriver OR cut 2 grooves from 2 different angles and watch it fall off on its own. Takes two minutes. Less time if more rot :)

I used nut splitters back in the 1980s, simple and easy when you don't have compressed air.

Excellent video! Straight and to the point, very informative. Best part, no acid rock music that some contributors feel is absolutely necessary. Great job!

[_FutureFocus]

Nice work! Personally, I would have cut it off, drilled it out and replaced with a new nut and bolt though!

[dukeman]

Easier to cut them off and use new bolts and nuts. I don't see any advantage using stressed and rusted hardware..

[dougjones]

One of the best tips I've ever seen. Thank you, Mike!

[julianthompson]

Great video. You know, I’ve been doing this stuff a long time but you literally never stop learning. Thank you!

[TrevHarvey]

This is an excellent method I only heard about a couple years ago. Muffler shops use a torch to heat fatigue the good parts so you'll be back for more parts and labor charges. Last time I went to one they short circuited when I said "don't torch the good parts". Thanks!

[johnriggs]

This is the sort of magic that, once learned, is never forgotten. Thank you!👍
