ChrisK Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 It's the backing torque you need though to loosen lug nuts up which differs from the forward torque and impact rating. Do I know what the reverse or jut busting torque is? Nope. But I'm pretty confident it MIGHT get the lugs off of my truck but not as efficiently as a impact wrench with a higher torque rating. But until I try I won't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmikez Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Nice MM U lucky! I grew with my grandpa being the neighorhood mechanic so I've always had a love for it though I should've paid more attention back when he was doing it all the time I still know a good chunk of the basics. So though I paint at the shop I've been finding myself doing more n more of the mechanic work at the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 ya back in germany i did that myself too, changing oil and rotate tires.but for 105 bucks - 3x oil change and 3x tire rotations + 3 car washes.for that money i dont get my hands dirty. changing spark plugs at my dodge - hell ya, i do that myself. definitely worth it! dealer charge you 400 bucks or so....

BK13 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Changing plugs on my F150 requires removing about half the fuel system. No thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NERemodeling Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Nice collection of red you got there Mike!!
