the right tool for the right job goes a LONG way towards making things easier.
for axle nuts you really need an impact, mine are on at 160Lb/ft and had been for 13 years of chicago winter. my cheapo $50 impact zapped them off like it was nothing. same for the strut to knuckle bolts at 203Lb/ft. -------------------- |
