an impact wrench that is of course. I need to remove a bolt and my strength ain't cuttin' it. I need an electric impact gun if anyone can lend it to me in the 818 area. Let me know please and I thank you in advance.

try using some pb blaster you can buy at the auto parts stores. usually some of that, wait 5 to 10 min, with a breaker bar, should do the trick. if not, i don't think an electric impact gun will work. might need the big boy at a shop.

yea i was about to say the same thing.... some liquid wrench might cut it and if not just drive it to a shop and they might just charge you a cool $10 to loosen it then you can give it a cool hand tighten and head home for the un install

Damn dude if you were in my area I'd lend you a hand in my garage. I have a pretty huge Compressor and a Impact Gun that should do the trick. There's been a few bolts that I could not break loose using the Breaker bar and the impact gun took care of that. I'm in the 951 area.

^^ thank you NA! I appreciate your help. I've been thinking about buying a compressor and a few guns because they come in handy specially if you do your own mods. I just hate that I have to buy a 15-20 gallon compressor and that is pretty big. It will take up quite some space in my garage and wifey will nag about it.

yup you heat the area around the bolt to cause the area to expand which in turn will loosen up the bolt easier especially if the bolt is rusted up works super good when you heat the facker up lol
