maybe diet coke, seems like it would make alot more of a mess and wouldnt help much.
as an update to the nutcracker. it will not crack nuts (at least not easily) that have the flange at the base. also, tight places like around an exhaust pipe, are hard to get at, especially when you are working upside down.
however, works great on normal nuts! and its heavy enough that if you put it in a long sock, it really would be a NUT CRACKER!

Coke works well as a rust remover (phosphoric acid), but not much else.Originally Posted by Cebby
They did the entire gambit of tests on Mythbusters a while back.
Only thing I've ever seen take out a carbide easy-out was a carbide masonry bit (usually a few of them are needed).
Usually leaves the hole a mess (needs a helicoil after), I just stay away from using those completely.

Well if you have a plasma cutter, you can blast it out of the hole too.Originally Posted by surf4runner
I was thinking more for the average homeowner, but your right.

i just bought new 02 sensor nuts & gaskets. the nuts for my 02s are 80% gone due to rust. i figured id get this issue fixed before my 02s pop out 200miles away from home on a trail or something lol. you guys posted good ways to remove those nuts but, in my situation none of that will work. im going to heat up the nuts lightly with a torch, then use a chisel to break away at the nut being careful of the stud threads.
i work at a dealer in ri. so everything i do is covered in rust and i use most of the methods posted every day. some day ill come to my senses and move the hell out of the rust belt

I just had to do the same thing and a set of vice grips should do it for you.Originally Posted by 20005spd
