1J Crank Pulley + Napa Socket =

[tlo86]

Tried a Dewalt 300 ft/lb cordless impact. NO budge. EFF ME. Need a nasty impact gun + compressor now. I can't believe this is happening.

and im sure the reason it broke was because you used an extension on it.. especially when you dont need one ;p

use an impact socket, and a 3ft breaker bar with the engine mounted and no extensions... it comes off real easy... ive done it by myself and with another person helping multiple times on 7m's 1jz's 2jz's 1uz's 2uz's 3uz's... never used an electric impact or air powered... if you cant get it off sell your supra =/

i kind of find it funny when people think the electric impact will take off a crank pulley bolt on a jz...

extensions on an impact reduce the torque significantly, use it without an extension for more applied force.

dude some of those cordless impacts are crazy though..

they are very nice! but i still chuckle and shake my head when a tech thinks its going to take off a crank pulley bolt on a jz...

kind of what i was getting at you shouldnt use one.. it can be dangerous. im surprised his extension didnt twist first as ive seen that too (when you use too short of a breaker bar especially)

LOL!! Anyyyway.... Thanks for the advice.

People used the same 18v Dewalt cordless impacts for steel work and removing semi trailer lugs that are torqued to 250 ft/lbs. This bolt is suppose to be toqued to 180 ft/lbs, correct?
I have a full impact socket set now, but only have a 1 1/2 foot pipe. I'm going to home depot tomorrow to get the 3 foot pipe.
My breaker bar is 1/2 inch as well as my impact sockets, so they are beedy enough. I hope the pipe is the key. I might need to call a friend to help, though.

Didn't use the extension with my impact for this reason. I only used it on the breaker bar. Going to try extensionless, impact socket, and the three foot pipe tomorrow night.

i know ive tried using the same tool. and yes it is unless they overtorqued it which is a possibility. the 3ft breaker bar i used cost about the same as a single impact socket should hehe works like a charm. the crank is not spinning right>?

:aigo:
I can't get it off. 1/2" breaker bar, socket, extension, 2 foot pipe, and a support under neath the rachet head so it doesn't move. Have to borrow a compressor + impact gun now. Am I missing something here? Are they reversed threads?

now thats bad ass!

 

[tlo86]

maybe it has a warranty.. heh

LOL, I should post up my broken craftsman and other sockets from my 2jz build.

but yea.. def. a shit socket.

500 for buds or stud piloted 250 for daytons.

my mac gun on high (450 reverse) took it off my soarer like nothing, proper tools make the job easier.

Ummmm...no, not even close. The amount of torque applied to one end of an extension will result in the same force on the other end. This is an old mechanic's myth. It's impossible to do otherwise, even with a twisting moment. Hint: It has to do with "equal/opposite reaction" from your high school physics class

I will agree that using a cheap, long extension with big torque numbers can be a hazard...from the extension breaking due to the twisting force.

 

[Oppie1]

Got it off!!! Wow!!!
The three foot pipe and taking that extension off made all the difference. Took two seconds.

1/2" deep well impact socket, breaker bar, three foot black pipe. Like BUTTA!!!11

Thanks for the info everyone. Now I don't have to sell my Supra :thefinger

The fact that your socket broke had little to do with it's "cheapness", rather that you used an inpact gun on it. An impact gun exerts some serious shock loads on the sockets. You'll shatter most good quality non-impact sockets with a good impact gun, let alone cheap ones.

I use a 4ft breaker bar. That bitch takes off ANY bolt.
