How can they unscrew the fuse from a WW2 bomb that was rotting under the ground or in water for 80 years, when you may have to use brutal force, heat, etc to remove bolts from a 10-year-old car (and the bolt will snap anyway)?

Question

I would expect that you wouldn’t be able to loosen anything on an old, rusty bomb, especially that it is so unstable and can go off anytime.

Answer 1

As a person who is rebuilding a classic car in his garage, I would say: PB B’laster. You are absolutely right about heat and blunt force being dangerous near a bomb, but 9 out of 10 bolts that I soak in PB B’laster for a few hours come loose with just some decent leverage. I don’t work for them and this message isn’t sponsored, just letting you know that some chemical solutions do exist.
