Neat tools, so I've heard. I don't have one myself.
> Also, which way do you turn a bolt to loosen it...?
I hope that you won't be tearing up too much or your engine if you
don't know this one (it's counter-clockwise). If a bolt is stuck,
the best ways that I've heard of to loosen it are:
1. Liquid wrench or kerosene. Usually works, but you need to be
patient.
2. Kroil. Like liquid wrench but works better. Kinda expensive.
Don't know a source.
3. Heat. This might help with a rusted bolt. Probably better
for nuts than bolts. I recently heard of melting a candle on a
heated nut. If you can break it free, the wax makes a good lubricant
to get the nut off without breaking the stud/bolt.
Be sure to check the owners manual or a reputable source for bolts
or nuts on rotating parts. They may have left-hand threads.
