...Nice one!.....better than my attempt with a pair of vise grips that slipped off onto my thumb Best wishes, Pb
ouch! makes a mess of the threads as well, This was out of necessity would not budge wd hammer mole grips then ding! it was a doddle .
Got to get one of these tap spanners, some of the nuts etc. seem to have been installed and tightened by "The Hulk" when he's having a bad day.
When you think some of these seized nuts have been on there for 20 - 50 years or more . and the worse ones are, when there is different metals, they seem to mould together as one.
...Yes, like steel studs in an Alu engine block... ..Steel will rust to approx 7 times its size over time, bending thick metal and breaking welds and popping the heads off 3/4" rivets..... .... Alu does quite well when it gets going too and will pit quite badly under paint, as well as suffering from electrolytic type reactions from other metals.....Copper.....Brass...etc
