Anyone got an impact wrench I can borrow?

Trying to get the rear axle nuts off to replace the toe control bushings. My 3/8" impact did nothing, as well as my 250lb roommate standing on my breaker bar. I'm glad the bar didn't break. I have a 1/2" drive socket that fits, I just need a beefy impact gun to get them off.

2 nuts, ready to come off. 10 minutes maybe?

I can offer beer, green, or gas money for your help. Far west Arvada, 58th and hiway 93 ish.

Thanks.
Andy

I can probably come up with something to help.

Just be aware that most sockets aren't rated for impact guns. They're usually fine, but I'd wear eye protection just in case. The black ones are the ones designed for impact tools.

Good point. I'll have to go pick up an impact socket if Don doesn't have one.

I do have one but I am tied up doing family stuff today. Can help you another time if no one can help you today.

Its all good. Have fun.

Anyone else with a 1/2" impact and a 1 1/4" or 32mm socket in the western Denver area?

I just bought a impact wrench to get my control arms off and axel so I can finally, for reals, get the N/A 8 on the road. I have the sockets too. Now that I'm arguing with my Bro/Mechanic I have had to slowly start mustering up my own tools. I've been spoiled with a garage full of goodies since forever. Doing things on the ground is a pain to me now.

Only problem is that that's way to far for me unless my sister let's me borrow her car. All my vehicles are still down. Hopefully I'll have 2 of them working by Friday.

No worries, this project has already been going for a couple weeks. I can wait a couple more. I'd like to buy myself one, but I don't currently have the $150+ to drop on a good one.

I got mine from Harbor Freight. I don't have much to spend so I got the cheapest one they had and it worked great for me for being electric. If I had a working air compressor or money for a new/used small one I would have gotten an air gun but this one worked well so I'm happy.

Cost me $50 plus $20 for a set of sockets (10mm-32mm) - http://www.harborfreight.com/12-electric-impact-wrench-68099.html

If you know what you want they have others priced higher. Not sure if they are better. But they seem to have had more in store than online.

Thanks for the offers, but a buddy from work let me borrow his. Worked like a charm.

Now to get the damn e-brake cable off....

how do you plan on ripping the e-brake and powa-ing over? Lol

Don't worry, I plan on putting it back on.
