| Bolt Question - Sticky nuts problem |

Or try adding a couple of nuts on the end to lock against each other, giving you something to apply counter-force to when you undo the one at the top. |

Using a dremmel with cutting disk - Try cutting a slot into the top of the carriage bolt - this will turn it into a "flathead screw" instead of a carriage bolt. 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 |

My marquee retainer was held in with those security torx screws that require the hollow torx bits, i just used a dremmel and made then slotted screws, works fine every time. |
