Removing a Seized Nut with Penetrating Oil (WD-40 Method)
This video shows the process of removing a rusted, seized nut from a metal component, likely on a vehicle or piece of machinery.
Video Description
The video begins with a close-up shot of a heavily rusted nut fastening a metal rod to a black frame. The process starts with a person attempting to loosen the nut using a wrench and a socket, but it appears to be stuck.
Next, the person applies a generous amount of WD-40 Multi-Use Product (a penetrating oil and rust solvent) to the rusted nut and surrounding area. They then let the product work for a few seconds.
After the application, the person uses the socket wrench again. With some force, the nut begins to turn and is successfully unscrewed and removed.
The video concludes by showing the small, rusty nut and washer that were successfully removed, indicated by a green checkmark graphic. The entire clip demonstrates how to use a penetrating oil product like WD-40 to loosen severely rusted or frozen fasteners.
