I've read posts on installing your own lowering springs and how much help it is to have air impact wrenches or, esp. when dealing with that nasty sway bar bolt in the rear. Basically, I am looking for wrench that I can use to take the lug nuts off the wheels and that can handle any bolts that I have to deal with when installing my own springs. What are the key specs I should look for (minimum Torque, drive size, RPM, etc)? Also, are there cordless, non-air impact wrenches that will work? Where is the best place to rent these items? Like Northern Tool or auto parts store? Thanks

The longer the handle is on the breaker bar the more power you will put into turning those nasty bolts.
Most people use there powers to turn that breaker. I use my power and weight. tongue.gif Anyways, Those Airtools are really useless, unless you have a really good compresseor and I mean one of those huge ass compressor tanks.

Trust me, if your gonna use a 10Gal compressor tank, then don't even bother wasting your time and money cause that thing ain't gonna even turn the bolts on the knuckles of the strut and hub.
