I apologize if I am stating thing that are too basic here.

Okay, Here we go.

Start with a wire brush and maybe even a file. Clean off the rust as best you can with the wire brush and clean up the nut edges of the nipple with the file. Try to break it loose with a wrench.

if the nut edges are rounded. You might want to squirt some WD-40 or other lubricant on the nipple to see if that will loosen the rust and scale.

If the nipple if too far gone you may have to take a hack saw to the nipple cutting off the part stick up from the pipe. Then you can try an bolt extractor.

worse come to worse you may have to drill out the whole mess, rethread the pipe and put in a bigger nipple.

Kid broke one bed rail and foot board while jumping on bed at the babysitters house. kid was told numerous times to stop her action. kid has had very little parental control in previous years and is out of control. now the parent is saying that it is the babysitters fault that the bed broke. I always thought that the parent is responsible for the actions of a child. bed can not be repaired and needs replacement parts. how can a parent say that they are not responsible for the damage? this case happened in the state of indiana.
please help!!
