Using a Torch to Remove a Rusty Muffler Part 1

This one is for my son Page who happens to have the same problem as his uncle, a bad muffler. I have to admit to having some fun making this video, I love using torches, they can be a very powerful tool and get you out of a jam when you need it. I guess it goes without saying that you have to be careful doing this however since you can get hurt using torches, just remember, don't panic, work the problem and you will be fine. Also, work safe and use some common sense when using them and wear your safety glasses with the protective shading, it does make a difference.

Here is a link to part 2

wow what country are you in because normaly Acetylene tanks are maroon/claret and oxygen are black with a grey ring?

[EricTheCarGuy]

@xide3 That is true with the larger tanks but these smaller ones are different for some reason. Thanks for the comment.

It felt like I was watching a drug commercial with all the warnings you gave :-). I've never needed to use a torch, but this is great info for future reference

[EricTheCarGuy]

@hoopfan71 It's one of my favorite tools, thanks for the comment.

informative masively

[negritorican]

great video....pretty funny too :)

Just wonder, how do you know when the bolt is ready to be removed? Do you recommend you keep torching it till it turns cherry red?

[joshTrites]

and just for a helpful hint. when trying to break the rust and heat alone just isnt doing it. try putting water on it. i find gatorade bottles work great. that will break the rust from the bolt almost everytime

[joshTrites]

@EricTheCarGuy not necessarily, the size doesnt determine the color. color is determined by the company that distributes the gas/fuel and oxygen.

Use it for the forces of good. :3
