Fix Tip: Old Seat Post or Conduit

How To's/Tech Tips Projects

What’s the best way to beat a stubborn bolt or nut? Leverage!

That’s right boys and girls, in order for you to make that bolt budge is to use a bit more leverage than what you currently have with your tool.

So here’s what you do, take an old seat post, conduit or any type of pipe.

Slide it over your tool. Here I’m using an 8mm allen on a crank puller. The cranks were stubborn so I had to use this seat post to get it to move. What’s cool is I could just slide the bar further out if I needed more leverage.
