Re: Tranny mount done :)
That's why impact wrenches were invented - to save knuckles, vertibrae
and teeth. Was that the bolt into the tranny or the one on the frame side? The ones into the aluminum are the ones that usually give me fits - the ones that are hell to break loose then come the rest of the way out with your fingers.

I don't disagree but a 4' bar is a lot cheaper than a quality impact gun. The bar will out torque any electric impact or homeowner quality pneumatic gun. One of my best investments was an offshore $19.00 3/4" drive 30" breaker bar and a 3/4->1/2 drive adapter. It's shocking how much more torque you can get out of a 3/4" head over the 1/2" head of equal bar length. -Brian |
