Tighten the red and blue nuts together, then put a wrench on the red and the yellow. |

Then you can use a large flathead screwdriver to hold it while you back the nut off. I use this method to remove phillips head wood screws that have become stripped. (Wood screws strip so easily, that's why I love drywall screws) Cheers, Craig --- End quote --- Now if this isn't one of the smartest ideas I've ever heard of... --- End quote --- Although the square neck of a carrage bolt may pose a problem in turning the bolt. Cheers. |

I wasn't telling him to turn the bolt, I was telling him to hold the bolt with a flathead screwdriver and turn the nut |
