    best to split twice, opposite sides and nut falls off

  • @harryleidy7593
    @harryleidy7593 Před 6 lety +2

    use it twice. cut on both sides of the nut and it splits the nut in half and it falls off the stud. been using mine for many years.

  • @jamesmullen262
    @jamesmullen262 Před 8 lety +24

    Hey man, never tried these always grab an angle grinder or air cut off tool when I get into trouble. But after seeing these they will come in handy when space is a problem.

  • @treblarefils
    @treblarefils Před 8 lety +1

    Yes the threads are possibly damaged as a result but it is easy to run a die to renew the threads. There are many times that this tool could be of major help. The nuts in the video dont appear to be overly bad but he is just demonstrating the use of this tool. Pretty neat i've been working on cars for years i don't think i've ever seen this tool hahaha.

  • @4DIYers

      Alexander Matias
      Why would you want to split a bolt? They are usually screwed into a blind hole and all you can see of it is the bolt head. If you break the bolt head, then you can't get the bolt out without drilling it or welding a nut on what's left in order to remove it with a wrench.

    • @edwilko8819
      @edwilko8819 Před 6 lety

      acalora123 you use a ball joint separator with something like wd40. Tap the thread or bolt with a hammer a few times to crack the rust and let the fluid in. Then with the ball joint spliter/spreader/separator in place or just a pri-bar the pressure stops the track Rod end or ball joint from spinning and off it comes.
      Nice to see these things work tho

  • @worldpeace32
    @worldpeace32 Před 6 lety

  • @hellcat1988
    @hellcat1988 Před 6 lety +1

    If you're not worried about saving the nut, just use a rotary tool like a dremel with a cutting wheel. MUCH easier.

    • @coypatton3160
      @coypatton3160 Před 6 lety

      If the outer tie rod end is bad it really does not matter. If it wasn’t bad before it is now so it still does not matter.
      Folks if your tie rod end is not bad, use a bit of penetrating oil and a wire brush to clean those threads. If you watch closely there is a allen wrench spot on the end of the stud. Get the nut broke loose then the impact he had should remove the nut. A tie rod separator will pop it out.

    • @fox10169
      @fox10169 Před 6 lety +1

      Coy Patton lmfaooo 9/10 that allen head strips out. And in the video he said "if your trying to save it, just use a bit of wood on the top" no need for that and it honestly is a bigger pain in the ass because the wood absorbs a lot of the impact, and can't get the full ass behind it. When you hit what it goes through all of that impact goes to the part. This is pretty basic knowledge in terms of mechanical work.

    • @cjoe42
      @cjoe42 Před 6 lety +2

      Pretty tough talk for someone who doesn't know the spelling difference between "they're" and "their". The man said "if you're trying to save this, use a bit of wood on the front of it". He didn't use the wood, so clearly he doesn't plan to reuse the tie rod end. It doesn't matter if he used proper procedure to remove the refuse part. The video was about demonstrating if a nut breaker would work and he showed that it did. And what's this whole thing about him having a purse? Are you so insecure about your manhood that you need to go point out how unmanly you think everyone else is in an attempt to make yourself feel better?

    • @fox10169
      @fox10169 Před 6 lety

      cjoe42 wasn't insulting anyone's manhood, but if the shoe fits wear it. And that's pretty big talk for someone who had the whole point of this go 10miles over their head. You seriously trying to do this right now? Lmfaooo

  • @crazyfrog4000

  • @ThePunter29
    @ThePunter29 Před 8 lety

    Great stuff. I've got a rounded off sump plug I just cannot get off. Welding a nut on top the only option left. Except I don't have a welder. This looks like a cheap solution.

  • @ShaneLynn1
    @ShaneLynn1 Před 6 lety

    Looking through the comments, I see a lot of people talking about how he hit the tie rod end and it messed up the threads. Clearly you didn't see the boots on them and plus he was replacing the tie rods anyways. Why else take them off unless you're removing the knuckle in which I'm sure he'd use a different method.

  • @holton345
    @holton345 Před 7 lety +6

    You were pretty fortunate that this worked. Usually the back side of the splitter snaps in half. The nut stays firmly in place and the tool is ruined. I have used these about a dozen times and have never had one that did not break. Perhaps the hardware used on my Jeep's suspension is all Grade 8 (or metric 10.9) and is too hard for these cheap tools. Grade 5 (metric 8.8, which is probably what was used on the two nuts in this video).

    • @DonnieDarko1
      @DonnieDarko1 Před 7 lety

      Holton 345
      yep. mostly a waste of money, maybe the higher end ones may yield better results but I doubt it. Even the tiny screw on the side of the nut splitter can easily break off on the middle of the torque process or while you're at near end of torquing down in a real tight area, the splitter will just keep sliding off to the weakest side and prolong the misery.
      they are a useful tool but in very limited applications. Best to hang on to your vise grips and keep your angle grinders handy.

    • @gaff205

  • @Jer0m3

    Do these nut breakers work good when you don't want to damage the bolt/thread? Sometimes the bolt/thread is irreplaceable, like some shock absorber mounts...

  • @briandonovan5434
    @briandonovan5434 Před 7 lety

    • @greatnortherntroll6841
      @greatnortherntroll6841 Před 7 lety +8

      Uwe Sanz If you drive the splitter too deep AFTER the nut splits, you can damage your threads, but generally the nut splits a bit before the thhreads get damaged. You should notice the tension on the splitter suddenly easing off at the moment the nut breaks apart. That's when you STOP turning the pressure screw!

    • @baklap141
      @baklap141 Před 6 lety +2

      But you can screw up the thread by knocking it loose with your hammer like you did.
      After you broke the nut once you need to do it again 180 degree turned and it will fall right off.

    Silverline stuff is usually not the best so a better make might hold up better.

    The balljoint doesn't spin if you use an Allen key , some even have a hexhead.

    Used one once and the chisel part of the tool broke... nut stayed intact. Never tried using one since.

    Will this compromise the thread on stud/bolt?

    After cracking on one side. Why didn't you crack it again rather than fight? Just saying it seems like a smarter way.

    You're spinning the ball joint. Just use a pickle fork to pull down on the joint and then loosen the nut.

    A big pair of grips forces the cone into the hole & allows you to impact them off - piece of piss.

    Don’t use an impact wrench, folks. I am pretty sure the nut splitter is not impact resistant. C’mon now.
