REMOVING BOLTS BY CANDLE

REMOVING BOLTS BY CANDLE
Removing broken bolts and studs can be surprisingly easy. First clean the area, then you heat up the broken bolt or stud. Let it cool for 5 minutes. Put a candle or paraffin wax on the broken bolt or stud. Let it sit for another 15 minutes while the wax works its way into the threads. Grab the end of the broken bolt or stud and it will unscrew.
