Re: Hinge bolt removal
For tight screws in general the best tool that I have found is the hand held impact driver with a driver bit to CORRECTLY fit the screw head. This tool imparts a loosening torque and linear force simultaneously.

Re: Hinge bolt removal
I agree! An impact driver is often an overlooked tool.

Re: Hinge bolt removal
Are you speaking of a removal that is trying to maintain paint etc
Or, will you be repainting etc? If the former, heat and kroil will do wonders |
