Strip nut how to get it off.

need picture.

Apply force to the nut at the same time you are turning it.

Use a prying bar or a screw driver to apply the force.
If this doesn't cut it, use a dremel and cut the nut in half.

The easiest way if you have the tools is to weld the nut to the stud. THen remove the nut and the stud. For this you will have to replace the stud too.

Good Luck!!

get some pics up today some time.

You really should ask Kat how to get your stripped nut off.

:lol :lol

here are the pic.

WTF is your problem... hearing about two hetrosexuals makes you freakin


maybe I should teach him out to take a clear pic!

heat it up with a torch and try either vise grips or pliers, all else fails cut it off then just put a new stud....

Drill it off then replace the nut and stud.

thank you I going to work on it this weekend can't get anything in there because you have about 4inches to play with.The book said to use a box end that what stripp it the other 3 where loose just going to have to cut it off.

Chris let us know what happens. Like said before just cut it and replace the stud.
And ask Kat to help with the picture taking.Just kidding man

You can drill into the side of the nut with progressivly bigger bits. That will eventually get it off. Looks like it will be the only way to cut it off. No real way to get even a cutoff wheel in there.

I have had good luck with taking a chisel and chiselling the nut towards the way it would come off. The chisel bites into the nut and the sharp hit of the hammer acts like an impact gun and breaks it loose. Try heating both the stud and nut with a torch before you try this though.

Sears sells the easy outs for nuts.(hahah) Give those a try if vise grips don't work.

There is a small tool that is called a nut splitter...OUCH!!!

It will cut the nut in half.....OUCH !!!!

I use it all the time, but I don't know where to get it....usually borrow it from my old man. He works in the Long Beach Harbor on the cranes and as to deal with bolts that are rusted from the salty air all the time.

The best way to get'er off is to not use channel locks on it the first time

heat it with the torch!!!!! it WILL come off

Did you get that damn thing off yet Chris!! Don't make this a year project. Just kidding. I want to see that thing out at Glamis next time.

nut cracker is what you need. you can get em at places like ace hardware, or any tool store
