Northern Virginia Roll Call

Anyone have thoughts on how to remove a rusted wing nut on a battery terminal? I've tried pliers and can't get it to budge. Squirted it with some wd40 and let it sit and nothing. I almost think it's welded on from the heat the wires were generating...bad connection with high resistance = no bueno lol

 

Spray some PB blaster penetrant on it and see what happens...

 

Agree with spraying break free stuff and then try using an adjustable wrench to apply even force on the wings while turning (like you would on a bolt). Maybe even use an extension for added leverage. Turning slightly clockwise before turning counter also sometimes helps break free the seized nut. I know that sounds counter to what you want, but it actually works in many cases.

 

Thanks I was thinking about using a wrench and maybe even trying to see if a socket would fit over top which would give me some leverage with an extension.

 

I use these.

It is a Wing Nut Bolt Driver. Coupled with a small impact or driver and you have one powerful tool .

I would be but I am gettin sliders put on then would be down for Sunday if there was any one interested in that

 

Shucks. Congrats on the sliders though. What brand? Bolt on or weld?

 

I got some tail gear ones that I'm gonna get welded on, but I made sure to paint them with bed liner to give some grip when there's snow on the ground or mud ha ha

 

Nice. Where are you getting them welded and how much are they charging??

anyone have a cover for a LB they are willing to sell, need something water proof to transport house hold goods as we drive up the east cost in a few weeks.

also would love to pick up a front skid plate (silver one) if someone upgraded to a real skid plate from the factory show piece.
