(spinning bolt) I take bolts that are loose and I absolutely cannot access the bolt's head only there is plenty of stem sticking out. Is there a tool that would go on the bolt from spinning while I tighten the nut? Maybe a tool that would seize with teeth on the bolt while I tighten the nut? Pliers would tear up the threads. I am sure in that location has to be some solution--possibly a trick that I have overlooked? __________________ �Get small-scale, go simple, go now� ― Larry Pardey, Cruising in Seraffyn

Might help to loosen the nut with Liquid wrench" or like production first.

Depending on how much thread you have, you tin can double the basics, either regular ones, or the thinner jam nuts. Once those are tightened against each other, you tin often agree the bolt and tighten the original nut. __________________ Toni Froehling Twenty-four hour period Island Washington 1994 Bayliner 4788 "Satisfaction"

In that location are several bolts under the cap track that are loose. The original cablevision clamps were also attached to the bolts. I need to supplant the cable clamps (builder used galvanized steel clamps that take rusted away) but I cannot take several off considering the bolt is spinning freely (the cable clamp is sandwiched between to nuts). __________________ �Go small, go simple, go now� ― Larry Pardey, Cruising in Seraffyn

The nut should move freely on the bolt. Is it dirty? I have used needle pliers to concord bolts just to overcome some initial friction. Also pushing the bolt to the side may add together plenty friction to get the nut going.

Merely there is such a thing as a stud removal tool that would work. Information technology is a threaded collet that you run on to the protruding thread, and and so a tapered chuck is tightened down on information technology, essentially making a really tight plumbing equipment long nut that grips the stud tightly. Pretty specialized tool. I used to use them in a valve repair shop, but would judge that a adept independent auto mechanic might have a kit laying around. But really, information technology sounds like it needs cutting off and replacing to me.

Edit: just saw the post from hmason , same thought 50

Another option is to do a double nut locked together above the nut yous need to tighten. Cat sells a threaded collet stud installer/remover that works well but you would have to but thread specific collets for different size bolt/studs.

OK, another thought, though a bigger job. If I understand what you are saying, would it assistance if you removed the cap rail and reset everything from scratch? So undo the bolts you can, cut off the other bolts, reset the clamps and cap track with new bolts the way you want.

That should agree the bolt.

What I do is clamp vicegrips(bentnose grips work best) onto the nut on i side(or bolthead) at an angle where once turned from the top the vicegrip will hitting hit a wall or something effectually the bolt assuasive me to turn it. Sounds complicated but it'south easy. I also observe that even if the vicegrip doesn't hit anything the additional weight of it clamped onto a nut allows the bolthead i'chiliad turning to at the very least get information technology close to tight and work from in that location. 50% of the time the weight is enough to get it Really tight.
