removing frozen nuts
Not if this has been posted before or not but it is a good video on how-to, using a candle and lighter. LiveLeak.com - Removing rusted nuts using a candle and a lighter

Re: removing frozen nuts
OH! I though you were going to tell us that they should be thawed out before being removed.
We don't always have that luxury in New Hampshire! |

Re: removing frozen nuts
Will this method also work on removing hinge pins?

Re: removing frozen nuts
Any hints to break free the hinge pins? I have pumped heat into the hinge but the pins will not budge.
Thoughts? |

Re: removing frozen nuts
When other methods fail, I drill about 3/4 of the way down, so it just leaves a thin outer edge to the pin, then use a punch and knock it down and through. Remove the head of the pin first.
