Hello, everyone.<\/p>\n
This is Enta.<\/p>\n
How are you spending your four-day weekend?<\/p>\n
I'm working as usual lol<\/p>\n
I suppose you're all operating as usual, too?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Well, there's no point in being jealous of others, so let's focus on the things we can control.<\/p>\n
But that's beside the point.<\/p>\n
In this post, I\u2019ll explain how to restore a screw thread (how to remove a bolt cleanly).<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure many of you already know this, but I\u2019ll write it down for those who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It happens all the time that bolts and nuts are hard to loosen, or that bolts just won't go in, right?<\/p>\n
In cases like that, the nut and bolt are seized together.<\/p>\n
In cases where rust or debris has gotten into the gap between the bolt and nut, or where they have become welded together due to thermal expansion,Gajiru<\/span><\/strong><\/span>is what they say.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you try to force it off or force the bolt in at a time like this, you\u2019ll strip the threads and compromise the functionality of the bolt and nut.<\/p>\n Here's a little tip to help you avoid that.<\/p>\n Please be especially careful with small bolts and nuts.<\/p>\n If you try to force it to turn just because it's stiff, in the worst-case scenario, you'll strip all the threads! lol (Especially on the machine side, that would be a total disaster.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n First, here's how to remove it.<\/p>\n Once the bolt is loose enough to move, apply lubricant (a penetrating type is best) and repeat the process of loosening and tightening it.<\/p>\n
