Nut case


Is there a way to remove a dead, stubborn nut? WD-40 had no effect on it. The dirt & corrosion had virtually glued the nut into place. Unmovable. You have no fancy tool to cut it away; you're not a pro tech.

But you have a file. Nothing fancy, the one that you use to address fret sprouts & some other minor issues. You realized you could actually file the side of the nut & calmly detach it from its supposed resting place. Done.
