Rounded Off Nut, Can't Get It Off

mustang_marine · December 4th, 2007, 08:19 PM

Not a problem with the mustang... i'm doing a piston on my dirtbike 2001 CR250 and on the top end is a 14mm nut that holds it on. the nut is on there pretty damn tight and it's stripped on the outside tried using everything and the damn thing wont come off... any ideas???

channel locks, big ass channel locks...? craftsman easy bolt out

craftsman has an extractor.

if it is a beefy bolt. you tap it on with a hammer. and it has left hand tapered cutting threads you tighten and it tightens onto to bolt till its broke lose. your bolt may be aluminum. and never used it on that before.

or you could try a monkey wrench

you could pull the stud and just go buy a new one.

if there r enough threads on the stud try to thread another nut down on it with locktite then use it to remove the stud ?

x2 heat it up with a propane torch and it should pop lose easier.

it would work if its a steel bolt in aluminum. but its most likely a steel bolt on steel stud in aluminum. and he cant get enough bite on it to back the stud out
