How to get seriously seized bolts unstuck?
Trying to replace my mom’s pool pump motor, but I can’t get these last two bolts out. I’ve used Blaster penetrating oil maybe 8 or so times in the last 24 hours and I’ve been using a dewalt compact impact driver to try and get them loose with no luck. I need the part of the housing it is attached to to install the new motor, is there any hope I’ll be able to get new bolts in afterwards? I planned to tap the threads after I got them out but is it a lost cause? Also fyi I’m having a problem trying to use a breaker bar for leverage because I don’t have a large enough vice to hold it down. Thank you for any help! submitted by /u/kchedges [link] [comments]
