Trying to pull the suspension on my car… im on a stuck bolt… my 4-5 year old craftsman impact wrench cant seem to touch it… and in its location its hard to get a breaker bar on there without using an extension, and thus limiting how much torque i can pu t on the bolt before it slips…
does anybody have an impact wrench i can borrow for a couple of hours? needs to be capable of 600+ lb feet… (hoping for a 7 800)
i bought a new IR titanium wrench but it isnt here yet
600+ft lb… is that gonna snap the bolt?
I think you need to soak that
i just got it out…
Took the caliper/rotor off to give me more access…
used a breaker bar and a 4 ft pipe to get it loose, then the impact wrench took it the rest of the way out…
its a grade 8 bolt, one of the only non coated bolts in the whole car, as it goes into a cast steering knuckle… teh rest of the car suspension is all alum
If you are at that level of torque, then try to apply some heat to it. A small bit may help.
+1 but looks like he got it out already
Glad you got it out. You’re going to love that IR gun. Tons of power and very quiet.
second that, IR titanium’s are awesome.
impact gun or ratchet? No ratchet is breaking suspension bolts out.
