This is a tip for loosening a frozen bolt that has no clearance to whack with a hammer or put a 6 foot snipe on. You may need to pull out this hack once or twice a lifetime, but it doesn't cost anything to file away for later. Actually, there's a number of tips in this vid:
1. Nasty job? Try to get somebody else to do it.
2. Mod an air hammer bit so it engages on the side of a wrench.
3. Check if bolts are re-useable by running a nut up the whole length of the threads. If it does, the bolt isn't stretched.

Add oil to your hammer!
A pickle fork tool is easily modified to do this, too, but it's often not compact enough and this approach will work better.
My air hammer was doing that. Turned out the body of the hammer needed to be tightened.
What???????? Lol
So howโd you get the bolt out of the nasty spot?
That was the MOST uninformative Tube vid I believe I've ever seen and I've seen some pretty uninformative vids on here… WTF did he show/prove??? If you can't get a wrench into the space you sure as f**k won't get an air hammer in there!!!
Damn, I'd almost forgot about all the phillipino dwarfs I worked with ๐ those guys are machines, the never call in sick, lots of respect
In Poland mamy klucze udarowe.
That was slick. Thanks for the tip!
Is he trolling us?
Your my friggin hero
Noice, I just had an idea. I don't have this heavy duty impact thingy, but I do have a massage gun ๐๐ Will defo give a try on my stripped wheel bearing bolt tmr
You go to Harbor Freight and buy the cheap wrenches… which you in turn bend and grind into shape in order to get at these impossible fasteners.
Hey. I was that 80 lb. Filipino buddy and was always sent inside the tight boiler water drum to unbolt the de-super heater. Those were the old Navy steamer life days. Thanks for the laugh AvE! ๐คฃ๐
Its sad that cause he swore early in this video youtube probably demonetized it
