I've been amazed at the ease of removing the copper nuts from bolts that I was sure would break. Not finger loose by any means, but no where near as hard as I expected due to the condition of the threads they were going over.

The first one came loose after mutiple penetrant applications- over a few days. The second was really stubborn- it was starting to come but ultimately snapped which is fine as the bolt just passes through the flanges- not threaded thru anything. Overall was a moderate PITA. How do mechanics do this so quickly?
