I tried installing my ATS LSD over the weekend, but once I got down to removing the ring gear off of the stock LSD, I couldn't get the darned ring gear bolts to loosen with hand tools, even when I had the LSD mounted on a vice. It looks like I'll need an impact wrench to finish the job.

Does anyone know if an electric impact wrench is strong enough to remove the ring gear bolts? If so, what brand/model do you recommend? The bolts have some sort of industrial strength thread lock on it. If not, I guess I'll have to take it to a shop.

Thanks in advance.

 

Air impact does the trick.

 

Yeah, I know an air impact wrench would work, but I wanted a more compact option. If an electric impact wrench works it'll be a better option because, it's a lot more portable and I can take it to the track for quicker tire changes.
