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.

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

 

I've got an impact at my place in Sunnyvale, PM me if you wanna come by or borrow it

 

probably already tried it but did you try using some pb blaster on it?

 

I have one you are welcome to use. I can bring it home to Palo Alto tomorrow after work. I do not however have any metric impact sockets. Six five zero three three three three one two eight.

 

U got compressed air? I got an air impact. And impact sockets.

 

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 have tried PB Blaster. I don't have an air compressor.

 

What bolts are you trying to pull?

 

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?

 

17mm IIRC

I can maybe swing by tomorrow or Thursday.

 

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.

 

You should just call Dumbledore to come over and break them loose for ya.
