How to remove rusted nut from rusted carrieage bolt?
Now I am having an even worse problem with Agent. I cannot view
postings unless I hit the "Reply to message" icon. And I cannot see any of my other newsgroups. I don't know what I did, but I don't like it. Can any of you using Agent tell me what I probably did and more importantly how to repair it? The only way I can find this one is by viewing all postings in the newsgroup and then alphabetizing my sender and then subject. Thank you all for the suggestions. I do own a high grade Dremel tool with most of access aries. It beats me why Ryobi used carriage bolts through sheet metal to begin with.

We tried eating on it with a cold chisel to no avail. Finally we were able to split the nut with a chisel and a ballpien hammer. When I wake up this morning I thought why not try a saws-all. First we cut off the end protruding beyond the nut. We still couldn't bulge it even though we had soaked it with penetrating oil last night. Then by prying with a cheap screwdriver I was able to get the blade of the saws-all between the metal it was bolted to and the rest of the bolt. That enabled me to cut through the bold and the rounded end of the carriage bolt fell off. What I am wanting to know is if there is a simpler way to do such a chore. The head of the carriage bolds were still very shiny and I could not get a grip on them wish anything including various sized Cannel Locks. -- Grandpa Chuck -ô¿ô- ~ Please grant me: the serenity to accept the people I cannot change the courage to change the one that I can the wisdom to know that it is me |
