Let be honest, we in a middle of fixing something, hands all dirty and we all watching this video

I've found the most effective way to deal with a stubborn bolt is to dismantle the rest of the car around the bolt, buy a new bolt, then rebuild the car around the new bolt.
Rebuilding car = 200 hours

Vs

Removing stubborn bolt = 4 years

Great now I just need $300 worth of tools and I'm good to go!

Anybody planning on making a how to video, watch this one... This guy is concise, logical, methodical and to the point.. there is no layers of egotistical waffle to wade through, its straight to the meat in the sandwich from the first sentence and every additional sentence means something.
Most people watching these videos are working on their vehicles, have greasy fingers and just want accurate and concise info. He starts with the best initial solution and progresses through the logical next step solution with not one out of step.
Much appreciated Kimball West, for great concise and comprehensive information, and for showing how a "how to" video should be done!

As someone who is new to the car scene (Especially working on cars) these types of videos are holy. Thank you!

I was struggling with ONE bolt for a very long time. This method worked for me. Thank you. Heat is what finally did the job. I followed all steps up to that point.

Used a lighter as heat source, worked like a charm. Thank you!

Spent 2 hours on one bolt removal. About to give up when I watched your video Rob. Gave the bolt a good tap and it unscrewed easily. Thanks!

Thank you for this video. I have had to remove my car battery this weekend in order to recharge it and one of the bolts that fixed the battery to the car was so rusty I couldn't turn it at all. It came loose after using your first few tips - I was happy I didn't have to ask anyone else for help!! Thanks again

[phillyyaa]

Thanks that's really helpful. I have no idea about tools and this makes referencing the right means and tools very straight forward!

You deserve more subs, sir. You provided all of the solutions from easiest to worst case scenario. Amazing.

Both succinct and thorough, what a diy video should be.
