So our members can see what you are working with and suggest the best approach, can you please share a photo or two of the nut you are trying to remove? It will help ensure you get more specific and useful advice.

Re: how do I remove a rusty nut

Hi @quinnijoy 

 

Thanks for sharing your question about removing a rusty nut. It would definitely help our members if you could provide a photo of the nut you are trying to remove. We can then make recommendations on what tool and methods you can use to remove a rusted nut. At the same tame we'll be able to tell you what to watch out for and if you need to be careful when removing a rusted fitting. 

 

If you need a hand posting the photos, please let us know.

 

Eric
