Yeah, getting rid of the stems and seeds are the biggest problem ! ;)

Who knows anymore. Lets face it, were all loosing our minds. Some faster then others. :confused:

I totally agree that as time passes the whole "black and white" issues of life change. When I was young I was totally sure of everything in the Universe. Now as the years have passed I have become certain that "nothing" is certain ! Only putting my faith in God has stood the test of time. As it...

The newer style of studs on trucks and buses (which are smaller) are usually use once and discard. The older style which have 3/4" studs are meant to be reused many times. They do need to be inspected and if any damage is noticed then they need to be replaced. You almost never hear of a...

No. That comment was for those who where saying I didn't know what I was talking about ie: no experience. I believe I do have experience here. But I never called anyone out and said they where some "fill in the insult here" .

First off you would have lost that bet to me. The first two pictures show some of my Snap-On torque wrenchs. They go from 1 oz to 600 ft Ibs. The third picture shows some of my air impact guns. I suppose I could gather together my torque multiplier's for another picture, and my electric impact...

I know this sets people off but, I have taken off all my lug nuts and cleaned up the threads and reinstalled them using "Anti-Seize" . Now they come off like their suppose to. Just what I do, your mileage might vary.

I have the 1/2" and the 3/4" Milwaukee's right now. I love them. Now if they do come out with a 1" impact I'm buying that too ! Of course on the Deuce I've set it up now so that I'm able to run my 1" impact from my spare 30 gallon air tank with 3/4" air-hose. It only gives me 5 seconds at 2,000...

I know that 1" impact weighs a lot. Especially after taking a couple of tires off ! I've learned to rest the unit on my thigh. Though that gets pretty tiring also now a days. That's why I'm liking the new 3/4" Milwaukee Impact Wrench. The problem with the road service is the tires usually go out...

Yeah at home I would just use the compressor since I have a very nice 1" impact that will take any nut off or break the stud. On the road I have the military breaker and a "Tank track" torque multiplier that will go up to 5,000 ft Ibs. If that doesn't break it loose I'm leaving it !

You don't add the alcohol ?

When I was still young and full of vigor, I would have just used a large pipe extension also. Now I'm old and tired and need lots of naps ! So the nice electric tool can do all that hard work for me ! Oh. I forgot to tell you Frank. The steering gear came. Thank you ! Doghead had edited my...

I've been planning on buying the new Milwaukee 3/4" drive impact myself. It has the latest designed motor producing the highest torque on the market right now. It's a little pricey, especially now being on a "fixed" income, but I'll save up for it.

You don't need to be "independently wealthy" to have good tools. Yes I bought most of mine since I was a heavy equipment mechanic for 45 years, but I see good tools on "craigslist" and "eBay" all the time for pennies on the dollar. Old mechanics like myself selling their tools after they retire...

I assume your using that "made in China wheel torque multiplier" that sells for about $50.00 right ? If you had used a real multiplier (3:1 or 4:1, 1000 Ibs to 2000 Ibs output) they would have come off. That or the whole stud would have broken off. My 1" impact would also have taken it off. I...
