The repair is becoming intriguing.
S
Should have used heat first…
S
Yeah resorting to that level of violence when the hub is bone dry….. that thing should be dripping in penetrant before you even start….
Z
That, plus an impact gun will do more than putting a static load on it. Giving it a few whacks will also help the oil to creep in.
I
Seriously, they have a lift but no 1/2 or even 3/4 impact? Corded electric impact like $40 at Harbor Freight I have had mine for over a decade without issue.
D
I’ll bet you they do have it and this dude just isn’t using them.
B
Man, I stopped breaking (so many) tools the day I stopped using them for the wrong job. Its amazing how much better a cheap tool survives its intended use vs an expensive tool being abused.
D
There is one in the bottom right of the video.
O
> Giving it a few whacks will also help the oil to creep in. Again, phrasing…
B
Whacking it off will help the oil get in there all nice like.
I
How many whacks though? I’ve been goin at for hours now, still no release
A
Call a doctor
D
Are we seriously not doing phrasing anymore?
G
Sometimes. Try any VAG axle bolt with an impact, no dice. Throw on your biggest breaker bar, no problem. Thread locker seems to play better with static torque in my experience.
P
>dripping in penetrant Phrasing
D
Yeah. “Lube dripping out of the crevices” would have been more appropriate.
S
Should have got it real moist before trying to get that nut off. Now he’s snapped his shaft.
A
Sounds like Johnny was trying one of those tiktok challenges again!
D
At least spit on it first
I
And not some 4 am morning piss type spit. I’m talking heavy duty fried chicken and thick shake spit. Kinda shit that would make guybrush threepwood proud
R
There, the crevasse, fill it!
A
With your mighty juice!

Hail satan!

Hail Satan!

That’s telekinesis Kyle!

How about the power… to move you.

Sigh. *zip*

Frothing at the gash?

Oh they knew, they knew.
S
“Breaking nuts is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman….” Bonus points if you can name that reference.

Congrats, you win even more useless internet points!

You get her warmed up, douse her with penetrant, then lower her onto the old jack.
F
And everyone wonders why those mechanic is popular with the ladies.

M
Sounds like Archer
S
Nope. It’s very British and very funny.
O
Ay papi chulito…I heard you need a penetrator that’s dripping 🥵🍆💦
S
Only the penetrant man will pass
A
Only in the footsteps of PB shall he proceed..
I
You gotta wick it before you twist it.
K
Look at Project Farm’s review on penetrating oil, they only lower the torque you need by about 10%. The problem is rust jacking and oil does little to resolve that
P
It’s still worth a try and much cheaper than a new part.
S
Also not needing heat is usually desirable on wheel assemblies because metal transmits heat well so you will heat bits you don’t want to like seals and bearings. Heat is a last resort when it’s just gotta come off and if I have to replace a bunch of other shit around it that got cooked then that’s what it takes. Lube is always worth a try first.

Project Farm completely botched the testing on that one. He didn’t give the stuff any time to soak in and just began cranking on it right away. Penetrating oils need to wick their way through all the rust, slowly dissolving or otherwise loosing it bit by bit, creeping into the threads. Always put penetrating lube on the day before, if you have the chance. It doesn’t work well for professional mechanics because they’re on a tight schedule and it’s less expensive for them to smash their way through the problem and replace everything in the way than to wait for any rust removers or penetrating oils. (Plus the have induction heaters) Project farm needs to try again but this time test at 24 hours, at 1 hour, at 1 hour with 30 seconds of torching beforehand (like solder, heat sucks it in), and at 1 hour with some impact driver or hammer whacks during application. Just spraying on and doing nothing else with only a brief wait isn’t the correct use of the stuff
B
Even just spraying all the nuts before you start loosening them makes a big diff IMO. My jobs are always less trouble when I spray before starting. Sometimes all it takes is a few % difference to get a bolt out before a head snaps or gets rounded off.
C
Yeah I’ve seen many people do their own little tests, heat is always by far the best. The induction guns are nice.
A
I’ll take 10% over nothing.
R
You mean stuff like WD-40 and panther piss only reduce the torque needed by 10%? Why does it always feel like it goes from no way in hell is that moving to very simply coming off? Edit* Here’s the (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xUEob2oAKVs). Some had more of an impact that 10%, but some had almost no impact. Thanks for the recommendation u/korben_manzarek. Very interesting.
