Siezed Fasteners - an answer?
We all know that there are regular threads about broken bolts etc on here. Here is a product that I came accross in work the other day......
...first item on this page- http://www.lawson-his.co.uk/scripts/...emoval%20Tools I haven't bought any to try it yet, but it could be on my next order from RS...... I note also that this on-line shop sells various extractors too. Cheers, Garry

Re: Siezed Fasteners - an answer?
I've got a couple of similiar products, I think one is Loctite and another is Maplin chewing gum remover. Seems to be fairly effective.

I like that page so much, it's now a favorite! Never tried anything like that yet though.

Re: Siezed Fasteners - an answer?
Loctite freeze and release is good stuff, definately part of the arsenal to try before reaching for the gas torch.
Seems that the freezer effect and a sharp tap can break the siezure.

Re: Siezed Fasteners - an answer?
I've got a large bottle of refrigerant in the garage! now I need a rusty fastener to practice on.
Nice product. Reckon it can't be too different to refrigerant. You can get tins of car a/c gas in Halfords now which will probably do exactly the same job. Not sure what the cost is though. |

Re: Siezed Fasteners - an answer?
Can you spray people with this, freezing them solid, then smash them into a million tiny pieces like in T2?

Re: Siezed Fasteners - an answer?
Soak in diesel overnight and give a sharp twist in the wrong direction (tighten) to break the seal seems to work, but these look interesting, I might have to have a look.
