Well right now im in the process of taking out some 10mm bolts. I could get one free and the rest are stuck. I stripped my 2 10mm sockets trying to remove them, and it says 10mm on the bolt head. I sprayed WD 40 on a couple to see if that would make a differnce but there still in there. Does anyone have a good idea how to remove them?

 

could you hit it a little bit then kind of jiggle them with TWISTERRRRRR (inside joke) twister is a better type of wd 40! but if all else fails grind off the head and then ust plires to take it out but you would also need to buy a new bolt

 

Buying a new bolt isnt a problem. Lots of 10mm bolts at ace hardware, I may end up doing that. I will start back up on it tonight. Getta see my friend who finally went back home from his quadwreck

 

try penetrating grease and vise grips.


Worked on my truck ever time

 

Hmm sound like i explained this wrong. I guess I should have called it a screw.

 

Get this stuff called PB-Blaster, its far better then wd-40.. I use this stuff everyday at work on rusted bolts on light equipment works every time..


You can find PB-Blaster at wal mart

If you can heat them up a little that works the best....

 

try tapping them with a hammer, and or heating them up vibration and heat will brake loose any rust or corrosion usually works every time also if it is a screw they make a impact screw driver just be carefull with one of these they sometimes break the head off! and that sucks I hate drilling and tapping. Good luck

 

its a socket screw right? you can grind part of the head and take a flat screw driver and use that!!! also twister is just the same as PB-Blaster but the PB-blaster somtimes weakens the paint on the aluminum and it flakes off!!

 

what i mean is that stuff is really good and can take off many many bolts especially in rust but it could be too much somtimes!!!!!

 

Raptor I was thinking of grinding the screw slots, but theres quite a few of thouse I need to do, had to do that on my carb when the philip head screws where stripped.
