Nut and Impact Socket
Anyone got any ideas on this...
I removed the sway bar link nut with an impact socket and those ****ers have fused into one solid piece. I have dropped that ****er in the vice and have tried pounding the shit out of it with a screw driver. It has not budged. Would heating it possibly get it out? I have one of those mini torches but I am out of gas. Hate to throw money at this if I don't need to. It is a damn nut and socket... |

Heat the nut up with the torch until it starts turning red, imediately try and turn it. If that doesn't work then you're screwed

Oh yea, you may need to try moving it both directions before it will break loose.

Soak in antifreeze for 24 hours, then try to break it loose.

Heating the socket will ruin it.

Put it back on and tighten it back down and you can get the nut out usually

Are you sure your screwdriver is small enough to go all the way through the socket?

Yeah it is hitting the socket. I spent like an hour trying to get it out. Talk about a frustration level of 11.
