Yes, I'm impotent. I just can't bust these nuts. My air compressor and impact wrench are just way too incapable. Cheap stuff, that's what I get.

The bolts circled in blue.



This car is immovable, stripped nearly to the naked frame. All I have left is the diff and the gas tank. I can't but those nuts to take the cross member off.

help. help!!!!


There wouldn't happen to be anyone out there in the bay area who might let me borrow a strong impact wrench and capable compressor? or perhaps come over and take 'm out for me? Anybody?

I need to get this damn pile of metal out of my garage. Dammit. Dammit. So close. So damn close, and now so far away.

anybody?

 

can get a good one from harbor freight for like $80 earthquake i think its called works pretty good 650 ft/lbs of torque

 

impact guns are not necessarily stronger than your arm, often times when my $300 top of the line impact won't get a nut off i have to break out the ole' muscles.

a good breaker bar will do the trick and is much cheaper than most impact guns anyways.

 

believe me man, I tried. I guess I'm just a debilitated little bitch, I just couldn't. that's why I'm crying for help

 

use a long breaker bar. sometimes our ingersoll rand just dont cut it and we use a really long breaker bar to apply constant raw pressure

 

omfg

So yeah, I gave it all I had on the driver side. I literally had both feet braced in the rear wheel well, I lifted myself off of the ground, pushing, gave it all I could give and it broke. I hella fell, haha.

But I couldn't do the same on the other side. I could brace my feet on the pass side door frame, but I just didn't have it. Then I remembered the whole thing with foot-pounds. I borrowed a bar from an excercise machine, and it made it tons easier. I'm such a dumb ***.

seriously though what the hell are those nuts supposedly torqued down to? I've never had such a run in with anything on this car like that.

 

i just impact mines on for a couple of seconds. its prolly some rust that caused it to stick like that

 

Mine came off like butter after a spending the night with PB blaster.

 

srsly - pb blaster is where it's at.

 

got mines loose thanks to my 9 dollar harbor frieghts breaker bar

 

uhhhh.... righty tighty, lefty loosey?

 

Be sure to unplug the filler first.

 

i'm so surprised nobody has made a sexual innuendo about a guy bustin' a nut.

i'm proud of you guys

 

oh believe me, for days in a row i was sprayin PB blaster.

lol, the sexual enuendo was my title, hahaha....

 

what?

 

que?
