Hexongal bolt stuck on cpu cooler screw

[ChrisHusk]

So I was taking the cpu cooler off because my dram and cpu lights were light up. And I took it off and this happened. I heard pliers and screw driver will work but I don't have pliers right now.

Well, you can use your finger instead of pliers if you are stronk enough.

 

Or mainly anything that can grip those hexagon shaped thing tightly.

Like wrench if there's any of that size, pipe wrench, clamp, vise, 2 pieces of a thick utensils.

 

Grab 2 spoons (or fork, butter knife, pen, whatever), lay the handle of one of it flat on 1 side of the hexagon, lay the other opposite of the first.

Press them towards each other then turn while holding the screws in place using screwdriver. (or hold the hexagon in place while loosening the screws)
You mainly only need to loosen it a bit, then you can continue by loosening the screws using screwdriver while securing the hexagon in place.

Yea pliers on the nut/bolt and having the screwdriver keeping the screw still should do the trick.
