Seized threads! by Trotter on Sun Feb 14, 2010 10:50 pm
Has anybody got any "tried and tested" methods of sucessfully freeing off seized threads?

It would be great to have a few options for freeing off seized bolts and/or screws, it could save a few squid if you don't have to get the garage to do it for you.

What do you guys think :?:
