In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore four effective methods for removing stripped or seized nuts and bolts. Dealing with stubborn fasteners can be frustrating, but fear not! We have you covered with some reliable techniques. In this video, we'll cover bolt extractor sockets, bolt extractor kits, heating or blow torches, and nut splitters.

🔹 Method 1: Bolt Extractor Sockets
Bolt extractor sockets are specially designed to grip rounded-off or stripped fasteners. We'll show you how to select the right size socket, attach it to a ratchet or breaker bar, and apply steady, even force to remove the stubborn bolt.

🔹 Method 2: Bolt Extractor Kits
For more challenging situations, bolt extractor kits come in handy. These kits often include a range of extractors with different sizes and designs to tackle various bolt heads. We'll demonstrate how to use these versatile tools effectively, ensuring you have the right extractor for the job.

🔹 Method 3: Heating or Blow Torches
Sometimes, heat can be a game-changer when dealing with seized nuts and bolts. We'll show you how to safely use a heating or blow torch to apply controlled heat to the fastener. The expansion and contraction caused by the heat can help break rust or corrosion, making it easier to remove the bolt.

🔹 Method 4: Nut Splitters
Nut splitters are a powerful tool for removing rusted or seized nuts. We'll guide you through the process of selecting the appropriate nut splitter and positioning it correctly around the stubborn nut. With the application of gradual pressure, the nut splitter will effectively split the nut without damaging the surrounding components.

Throughout the video, we'll provide step-by-step instructions, essential safety tips, and real-life demonstrations to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of each method. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a toolbox full of techniques to tackle any stripped or seized nut and bolt you encounter.
