How to loosen a rusty nut
Model: (Various brands) Various
All of us, in maintaining our car, maybe a bit old, have had to deal with unscrewing a rusted bolt that gave us some trouble. Let's see in this video how to unscrew it with the least possible damage. First, we need to clean them well with a wire brush, then we need to spray them with a specific loosening agent, such as WD-40 or CRC, and let it sit for at least fifteen minutes. If despite this we are unable to unscrew the bolt, we will need a tap wrench, or a wrench with a longer handle: in any case, let's try not to exert too much force, as this could strip the nut, or break the bolt head, and the possibility of getting hurt is always present. Another attempt can be made with a piece of metal and some strong hammer blows and then try to unscrew it with a ring wrench. Furthermore, we can try with a chisel on the corner of the nut, always pressing with a hammer, and then try again with the ring wrench.

Frequently Asked QuestionsHow to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?
To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube. by ScegliAuto More videos
