Old bolt removal

norm1949j · Jan 12, 2021

Have 1964 case 430 will bolt to remove. I watched youtube about stuck removal, (6 point wrench, penetrating oil, heat), but 60 year old bolt head does not have noticeable flats. What do you suggest?

Cutoff wheel on dremel, cut parallel to bolt, split nut with chisel.

They make special fluted sockets called bolt out that work well for rounded heads like that. They are sold under both the Irwin and Craftsman names. I would recommend investing in a set. They work very well and save time later. No additional work required.
