My solution is not always mechanical. I first try penetrant - most any major brand. It's best to apply as soon as you know you have a need. Minutes are good, but days are even better. One project was removing rusty hub bolts from a 1950 tractor. Applied some every day for 4 days. Impact wrench spun those off as though they were just installed. Another project was the internal nut on a hydraulic cylinder that had been sitting with open ports in mud and water for over 15 years. Wanted the rod for a project. Again, penetrant for 2 days. Impact took the nut off on first try.It is my opinion that the air die grinder is about the best wrench for removing stubborn nuts ever made.![]()
