Impact Wrench? Anyone have one I can borrow/use?

So I've got two nuts that are on pretty good that I want to take off. They're under the car so there's not a lot of space for a breaker bar. I want to try hitting them with an impact. Anyone have one I can use? I can give you some beer/lunch/dinner/money.

If anyone is willing to help me out that would be awesome!


Thanks for looking.

- Jourdan

If you can't find anyone with a big one, I've got a small batt op Makita impact in Campbell.

LOL I just assumed he had compressed air. Mine is a snap on and needs LOTS of air. You can use my compressor but you gotta move it! It weighs about 250lb and won't fit in a car!

I want to install a set of Whiteline sway bar braces (KBR15). The nuts that connect the lower control arms to the subframe are the ones giving me a hard time.

I has one and a driveway for you to work on too!!! Just not sure if it's charged up though. If you wanna swing by let me know what size the nuts are. I think they're 14mm or 15mm right?

Your welcome to borrow my 18V Snap-On electric impact gun. It's at my shop in Sunnyvale if you wanted to come pick it up/drop it off here.

WD-40 and a rubber mallet LCA bolts might have some locktite on them though. I don't see it too often from the factory, but once in a while you do have bolts that are kind of important that have it on them.
