Im changing the shocks on my truck and have got 3 out of 4 done. For some reason the lower bolt on the front pass side is stuck. I've used my neighbors impact, breaker bar with cheater, penetrating oil, my body weight and the torch. The MFer won't budge. Oh I even tried my torque wrench and that broke[Bang]. Does anyone have a good impact I can borrow??
I've got an air impact tool, and an old school impact tool you smack with a hammer. The air tool is low-end, but it's worked for me. You're welcome to either/both.
I've got a husky brand you're more than welcome to borrow. More than happy to meet ou at 104th and highway 85.
YOu can use my snapon one... It is bad bitch
I have an IR231 and a Mac tools 1/2" drive you're welcome to try out.
One observation, is your compressor up to the task? How long is the hose? I know it seems silly but a shorter air hose will make the impact gun work better. You might try using the shortest hose you can on what you already have, it doesn't cost anything and might save you a trip or two.

PB penetrating catalyst is the ultimate. Makes "Liquid Wrench" look like a wussy. It let me take off the rim bolts of a 1953 tractor.

Gallons mean nothing when it comes to air. What CFM at what PSI is the important issue. I have a Snapon Air hammer that at my last shop was only ok, even with a 60 gallon compressor. The CFM was crap.Quote:

Eric, your positive those are right handed threads correct?
if the torch won't allow them to break loose you have an issue. Do you have a cut off tool? Split the nut.
I assume you have the MG725? That is a nice impact. And I have seen it take of lug nuts off of a truck at 400ftlbs plus.Quote:
