Tips to removing a siezed PTO clutch bolt. Video response to a common question I get.

Here is a video response to one ofnthe most frequent questions I get on one of most popular videos right now.
In my video PTO Clutches 101    • Pto clutch issues 101. Most common is...  
I show some tips amd tricks on how to remove the clutch. In the comments I often get asked "How do I remove the bolt?" or "What if I can't remove the bolt" etc.
While I do use penetrating oil to help remove the clutch from the crank shaft it doesnt really help remove the bolts. There is a bushing that is about 1.5" between the head of the bolt and the threads in the crankshaft so it will be very hard for penetrating oil to ever reach the threads of the bolt and crankshaft.
In most cases more impacting torque is all that is needed. In rare occasions the bolt might break inside the crankshaft.
In that case drill out the bolt starting off small and stepping working your way up tonthe size needed for the tap of the size of the original threads.
If you try bolt extractors use extreme caution not to break off your extractor in the siezed bolt.

Thanks for watching!
