HI from Sunny South Africa
My son is in the process of sanding down and re painting an old metal
garden bench with wooden planks. Trouble is, we cant remove the rusty
nuts from bolts attached to the sides of the bench. We've tried
hammering with force and oil - nothing helps.
Please could you advise us. (Hack saw will be difficult as its such a
small place to get into)

You can get a 'nut splitter' which you tighten onto the nut and crack
it in two.
