Ok I can't get these freaking shocks off, tried a torque wrench and penetrating oil and no luck. And i'm not being charged 30 bucks a shock for someone to do it for me when i'm gonna get ripped off so much. So I need an airgun to get these things off.

Anyone know where I can rent one? or even buy one for cheap and umm it may not work and i'll have to take it back the next day

 

A torque wrench to REMOVE a nut?
Yikes!
If a Power Handle (breaker bar)won't turn it off,
You can rent an Electric Impact from a rental comapny.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 13-Jun-02 AT 08:02 PM (EST)]I didn't do it, my stepdad did. Maybe i'm thinking torque wrench and meaning something else(probably am).

Where can I get a breaker bar/power handle?

 

Yeah I meant IMPACT wrench, sorry.

 

I'd get out a breaker bar, and slide a PIPE over the handle to get more leverage on it....

(You risk your wrench doing this, but if it has a lifetime guarantee on it.... *shrugs* what's another trip to SEARS!)

 

Check your Yellow Pages Under "Rental" tools

I found a place(Nothing is open right now tho), so i'll call tomorrow. Thanks guys.

 

Take a propane torch and heat the nut up before you try again. Sometimes that will expand the nut a little and break it free from the bolt.

 

Lefty-loosey, righty-tighty. Be sure you are turning in the correct direction.
