Pucker factor - Anyone have a 3/4 impact I can barrow?

[tmleadr03]

There is a reason I work on smaller vehicles like Eurotrash cars. This would be one of them.



Yes, the breaker bar is bending. No, I will not get closer to take a better pic. Has to be about 3-400 ft lbs of pressure right now if not more. My impact does not have the balls to twist that.

I have no problem driving the truck to you to break the nut free if you dont want the tool out of your shop and bringing it back to do the work. Otherwise I may have to walk away from this job.

ETA: I meant borrow.

I'll put on a bomb suit and go crank on that jack some more.... For a dollar...

Too late, head just cracked off of the breaker bar.

Step 1: Lower jack
Step 2: Take handle off of jack
Step 3: Place handle over breaker, and use for extra leverage
Step 4: Remove bolt
Step 5: Buy me a beer for how helpful I have been


Edit: New Step 1: Go buy another breaker

Not an impact but i have a 600 ft lb torque wrench if you need it.

I have a 3/4 breaker bar around here somewhere, your welcome to come by and use it. I have used it to break loose the front hub bolts on the 13B's, which are torqued for some reason to 300lbft and loctited with some over-achieving Japanese loctite.

Theres an app for that....

Seriously though, get a cheater pipe or use the jack handle, cheaper than an impact and faster, you can use a piece of good size conduit or any sturday hollow tubing really. The jack isn't giving you any more leverage it's just trying to pick up the truck with the breaker. You'll be amazed how easy it comes off with a cheater pipe

Torque wrenches are not made or meant for removing hardware.
