Has anyone ever used a soldering iron to heat up a screw to try and loosen it? I have three I am soaking in Kroil after which I will try a 3/8 hand impact wrench?
Thanks,
Reno
It could not hurt to try, but I am not sure if a soldering iron will transfer enough heat.
In the past I have filed the point of a 10 penney nail flat, held the nail in vice grips and heated to red, then applied
the tip to the screw. The one time I did it, it worked for me. Also used that method to "spot anneal" hard steel so I could drill it.
good luck, if this saga continues you may need to drill it out.
