Shoutout to the Snap-on guy who showed me a trick with a pry bar

I had this old Ford F-150 with a stuck brake caliper bracket bolt. I was about to grab the torch when he stopped me and said try a pry bar behind the bolt head while you turn it. I thought it was BS but it popped right out after 3 years of rust. Anyone else have a move like that that sounds dumb but works every time?

Honestly yeah, same trick works on stuck jar lids when you tap the side with a spoon first.

Has the same thing ever worked for you with something totally not car related, like when a stuck zipper just needs a little pressure from behind to slide? Tbh it's wild how many problems in life get solved by pushing instead of pulling.
