As far as the impact, I only have a 20gal tank which means my gun can run for about five seconds. It doesn't matter though. It will take a fully staked nut off in less than three taps. It doesn't even notice it.

If you pull the hub out and it's badly scored I would replace it when you have time. The last time I did my right I had to replace it because it ate a new bearing after 20k miles. I'll be in Raleigh after lunch shopping if you want to meet somewhere for the wrench.

If you want to own the tools, harbor freight has a decent 3/4 TR and socket set. Shouldn't be more than $125.


Hey sgt b this is spc g ...would you be willing to let me borrow this wrench to do this axle nut job ... so in reality it's only gonna take a hour after work one day this week so could we meet up sometime this week and ill bring it back to you the next day? Need the socket too i have one but its for 1/2 drive!!! Would you be able to help me out sgt???! 9one9 three 2 three 6946
