I wasn't trying to make more work, just trying to tell you if you bring the receipt back to Lowes next month you might get some cash back that Lana won't know about to use on the Ferrari  If they discount them more in Nov or Dec they will refund you the difference. |

Another delay. The bmw has a torn cv boot with the joint making noise so I need to change it. After an hour of screwing around with the axle nut I finally gave up and cut the nut off......hopefully the pace picks up now.

(My 330GT wheels should be torqued to 325 ft-lbs. This I do by hand. The spinors appear to tighten when the car is driven. A 3/4 in impact wrench will unscrew them, but some times you have the take a minute or more before a large number of impacts finally loosen a spinor.) |

No 3/4 impact but I put a 3/4 ratchet on it wit a pipe and turned it about 1/2 turn... and it was cleanly getting tighter. I'm guessing I galled it somehow when I changed the bearings a few years ago. Less than 5 minutes total once I got the torch. I got most of the ceiling insulation done...since most of the space above will be part of the shop its real just about 3 feet around the sides. I was pondering a door upstairs and doing the whole ceiling....I still might but first I'll do the stuff I know needs to be done. Walls next turn I need to figure out what to do upstairs....the framing isn't really finished and it needs outlets before I can insulate. |

I had some Harbor Freight gift cards I cashed in on the composite bodied 3/4 Earthquake impact gun. Best $200 I ever spent. I've done a few Honda harmonic balancer bolts with it and some other stuff I couldn't get loose with my 1/2 inch gun. I think its rated at 1700 ft lbs. I've named it Bubba! Bubba seems to be able to get everything loose.

Bubba seems to be able to get everything loose. I do not think that it is entirely about ft lbs. I think that the sequence of discrete impulses break up chemical bonds that hold things stuck. As I said in my post, sometimes it takes my 3/4" impulse driver what seams like a minute sometimes to my my spinor spin. It just goes bang, bang, .... bang ... bang and finally a low roar and you have to be careful least you have the spinor spin across the garage or into the car. I fully believe that it is the impacts that matter. If you try to use a bar with a 10 foot pipe extension you will just damage what you are trying to remove. You do not break the chemical bonds this way. Once I was removing the rear section of the exhaust on my car. I was replacing entire sections, muffler and all. I removed the driver's side by banging on the muffler with a heavy hammer. I could not remove the passenger side this way. What I was trying to disconnect was the joint where a pipe slipped into a slightly larger pipe. Since I live in a town full of artists, I when down to the pottery place and got a section of 1 inch thick insulation for a potting oven. I then had a little mat gas flame thing that I played on this joint with the insulation keeping the car from catching on fire. The joint was heated, but not enough that it became even slightly red. After it cooled, it was easy to remove with a few bangs on the muffler and the pipe came right off. The heat had expanded the joint enough for the chemical bonds to break. |
