For years we've worked on older cars caked in rust with a constant fear of shearing seized bolts. Not anymore! The Bolt Buster is the RIGHT TOOL for the job. It breaks rusted hardware free without the use of PB Blaster or blow torches. It's not the cheapest tool around but will no doubt save you time, struggle and money over its life.
I put cold water right after heating up the bolt to quench it and shrink the metal. I did this to 3 rusted bleeder valves on my car and it worked perfectly.
"That's all I need."
No. You need to replace that bleeder....for safety's sake.
But they are soooo expensive!!! :/
@@hawkdsl couldn't believe that didn't pop a new 1 on. Guess they didn't want to charge the customer an extra $0.30 for a replacement.
You heated the bleeder. What you needed to do was heat the caliper around the bleeder
awesome video
amazing content
Did you heat this with the system full of brake fluid ?
Yep, worked perfectly
Just buy a new caliper wtf
Not sure what you mean by that, why buy a new one when it can be fixed
No. Never. Always buy a REBUILT.
This is good for car not heavy equipment torch is much quicker
They’ve got them for a huge Nuts.
Recently used one like this on a 3/4 ton diesel and on a 440 log skidder to break some old rusted nuts free, worked for me spent about 3 minutes a nut.
That isn't rust, that's grime... and it doesn't interfere with the removal of brake bleeders. This is a cheap, nasty setup that proves exactly nothing; we have no way to know how easy or difficult that bleeder would have been to remove without the silly "bolt buster" (which, by the way, does nothing that cannot be done equally with a propane torch or a heat gun).
Would someone like to explain why heating a connector (to EXPAND IT in its BORE) might make it easier to remove from that bore? Remember, the rest of the caliper would remain unexpanded; the bleeder would have gotten TIGHTER in its bore on heating.
Also... would someone care to explain why some foolish kid is using a twelve-point box end wrench on a brake bleeder, or on anything else that's expected to be (a) rusty (b) difficult to turn (c) easy to destroy?
All credibility is gone here, guys. Might as well take it down and pack it in.
Guessing you haven't used one of these things, they work incredibly well, but yes a brake bleeder probably isn't the best use case just happened to be what we were working on. It's quite a bit better than a propane torch when it comes to needing to contain the flame. Also the coils can be bent and twisted to get at hard to reach bolts. It's not a tool for everyone but wow does it work.
@@sheupel How's the price compare to a bottle of MAPP? How well does it hold value over the years?
Don't get me wrong, many times I've considered building an induction heater. PRObably not for this purpose, though. Pretty certainly not.
Hint: chilling works a heck of a lot better for shrinking a fastener that you need to get out of its hole than heating does. That or heating the hole. Or just impact (which works superbly when you know how to do it right).
Now... if you were trying to loosen a rusted NUT... then I could see a use for one of these. THAT would WORK.
@@timhofstetter5654 honestly it was just the first stuck thing we came across after getting it. Just to be clear I'm not a rep for these or anything, we got one for my dad because he helps a lot of people with their car problems and in our experience it has its place
@@sheupel Fair enough. :)

1. There is nothing to do with “EXPAND”. Heating makes infused molecules of bolt and body, or nut and bolt etc. begin moving again and thus braking bonds between them. When two sides of metal stay tight together for a long period of time, their molecules start penetrate to each others intermolecular space. This is what is called “infusion”. Heat makes molecules run very fast ( like a crazy) and brake connections between them. When it is too hot then molecules loose all connections and metal melts.

2. You are right. It is funny to see when someone uses 12 point box wrench on bleeder! The best way is to use vise-grip clamp with flat lips. Bleeders do not need heat because they never get rusty inside.
