Since hangers are designed to convert an axial force to a more oblique/shearing force, they aren’t ideal for removing a bolt. Usually the bolt bends or the head breaks off before the bolt slips. Using these forged eyebolts/nuts you can pull straight out, in-line with the bolt. It’s much more efficient, and even if it doesn’t work you will still have pristine threads on the bolt for other methods of extraction (funking with a hanger always mashes them.)
In this case the sleeves on these previously placed 5-piece bolts came out very easily. Next I will try this technique on some 11-year old bolts that remain on Apple Strudel.
Using basic constraints and relationships in CAD can help solve “complex” problems. While while won’t be anything new to seasoned CAD veterans, I find it helpful to use constraints like this when experimenting with how to build a model or assemblies!
Here we’re building a bracket to hold timing belts and motors for an upcoming Arduino video! We needed an exact dimension and I wanted to work in the “OD” versus the “on center” dimension in Solidworks!
