So today’s video I am showing how to cut toilet bolts so that you can use the threads in the future. Later on. It’s not too complicated. It’s very simple.
You know these are metal bolts or brass. I believe. You just want to use a hacksaw. This one I am using a small short hacksaw.
This is especially for toilet bolts but it works for other bolts as well. The trick is to put your nut on and than cut your bolt.
With a toilet bolt a lot of times is all you have to do is cut it about in half. Then you can break off the end that is left.
By putting the bolt on first when you undo the threads that will straighten out the threads so that you can put another bolt on or the same bolt on next time.
That is the trick to preserving the threads or making the threads good when you need to cut a bolt shorter. Again this is especially useful for toilet bolts as these have a cover that goes on and you want that to be able to hide the yuckiness of the toilet bolt.
Lots of you probably know this one already. This is for those that don’t and just a nice simple easy one today on how you can cut toilet bolts and preserve the threads or use the threads in the future.
