Anyone around Monroeville got a Impact tool i could use. I’m puttin on new struts/springs and i cant get the fronts off AT ALL. I’ve even broke a ratchet bcuz they are on there so damn good (and kinda rusty). All they are doing is gettin stipped kinda. I would saw them off but there isnt anywhere to put the hack saw to the bolt and do that. So desperate times call for desperate measures lol. Id just need it to do my front struts on my 200sx then i’d be outta your hair… ---

No, but i got that suggestion. My dad decided he would take it to a shop and pay for the it to get done, i mean it was just for the fronts to get done cuz i got the back. But i guess he felt bad cuz i tried everything and was like frustrated as hell looking for a Impact Wrench lol…oh well that works for me. ---
