How To Remove Rusted or Damaged Fasteners – EricTheCarGuy

1. Thank you so much for posting this video. Removing the floor panel over the transmission of my 1949 Chevy truck was kicking my a$$ due to 10 screws rusted solidly in place. The sharp center punch in the hammer drill did not work for me. However, using that same center punch and a few sharp blows with a hammer, more solvent, and then twisting the screw a little each way allowed the solvent to loosen them up and they all came out. After a few screws I had to resharpen the punch to make it work again. Thanks again.

2. thanks!!

3. I’ve been doing this for hours
   It’s not working

   What’s annoying why???

   So frustrated

4. Finally now i can make my beyblade stadium using my old sattelite
   It was very effective

5. That’s great, but what about a threaded screw?

6. Sweet!

7. Thanks! I managed to take out the rusted screws out of a Playstation 2 controller.

8. Great ☝️

9. I didn't have the customized hammer but I used a screw to hammer around the edges of my tubdrain screws. 35 year old, corroded screw finally came loose. Much appreciated 🙏🏿

10. Good tip. Also spraying the screw HEAD and letting the oil penetrate beneath it helps more than oiling the threads.

11. Thanks a lot

12. What can I do if the screw is recessed into what it’s screwed into by half an inch or so

13. Wowwww. Useful video 🤩👍👍👍

14. I found this amazing electric screwdriver on a website called GenScrew. https://genscrew.com/kit

15. Would wd40 work too?

16. I may be a kid but I actually used this thx for the help 😀

17. Hi I tried to replace my rear light of my car and the screw is turning but it doesn’t come out, what can i do?

18. My mechanic kid refused to unscrew my seized right front brake line for fear hed break it! Still charged me. I received a call from his NAPA CANADA BOSS! I told the truth and they buried my complaint. I'd be fucked as well because my brakes are not 100%. What does anyone out there think about that?

19. Thanks. Worked like a charm.

20. You idiot this takes less than. Minute
    You just want to be on you tube

21. Thanks bro,oit helped me !

22. Great method Eric. Heres a challenge. Now get that rusty screw/screws out of your fishing reel so you can oil it.

23. Awesome and thankyou very much from down under. So helpful

24. My map sensor Es stuck with a seized screw… can I try this or is there another way I can take out the map sensor screw that is stuck…

25. Very helpful thanx

26. Thanks you sooo much it’s very helpful 🎉

27. Dude genius thanks

28. Awesome points! Thank you!!

29. What oil can be used loosing? Food oil can?

30. Good bless you brother

31. Thanks.  Nona, USA ….I will use this idea to remove my dryer door.

32. Hope this will work for the burner bolts on the gas stove. Sockets aren't turning the bolts

33. I find that pouring "Plusgas" over the jammed screw and let soak usually works ! WD40 is a waste of time and money.

34. Nice idea if you've got enough room

35. This screw was HARDENED but the technique worked GREAT with a standard screwdriver and hammer. Thanks!!! REALLY needed to resolve this! 👍

36. Omg its worked so well. I used short screwdriver and plastic hammer help to open frozen screw from my hand planer. Thank u a lot! I tried many way but not work till i saw ur way!!

37. Hey Eric what if you have a Ford Escape with an plastic upper manifold and it has that little brass piece that the screw goes into the hold it down what if you were to break the bolt how would you get that boat out of the brass part of the lower which is also like a plastic material

38. There's a rusted screw on my dryer and I hope this works

39. Thanks a lot for the information.

40. cool

41. Good man

43. 🤓 thx for the tip, i need to get an air hammer 🚛😍🚩

44. Awesome thanks!!!!

45. Good idea.

46. Hi could i do this to a nut ? Its not moving so i cant move my egr valve ? Also were can i get 1 of them drill bits from that u use in the drill ?
