anyone use electric impact wrench before? I don`t wanna buy air compressor for just my crank pulley... I pulled the pulley off the other day at work so it isn`t super tight. I`m looking at this Kolbat 350 lb torque or this one Dewalt What do u guys think? I think 350lbs should get it off especially is I had it off not to long ago.

QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ Nov 12, 2012 - 11:05 AM)  There's a trick for the bolt, brace the wrench against the ground so it locks down in the direction that the bolt spins, then barely blip the starter so it cranks itself loose. Yea I`ve seen that, however I would use electric wrench more then just the crank pulley thats why I was wondering |

The starter trick is easier/safer than it sounds, maybe Ill make a how-to video when I get home. An alternative is removing the apron, driving the car to a shop and having them bust the bolt loose, then drive home and take it off.
Ive never had good experience with electric or pneumatic impact hammers. They never deliver enough torque for bolts that have been in place for a while, unless you spend a few hundred $s on a decent one. |

I had just removed it the other day with an impact air gun at work so its good and ready to go..... Its not rusted on or anything I just brought the kolbat one it delievers 350 ft torque and I will update on how she does.. I`d imagine it will go smoothly considering the bolt was broken lose not to long ago. |
