BTW, JFP, I have to tell you: While I was cranking on the thing, working up a sweat, my son shows up in his Celica, wanting to appropriate some garage space next to the Boxster so he can adjust his end links or some such thing. (We’re constantly stealing tools away from each other.) Anyway, he sees what I’m doing, working my a$$ off, and comments “You really need to put the impact wrench on that, Dad.” I told him I was NOT going to do that, that the instructions with the SIR state categorically that “Positively DO NOT USE POWER OR IMPACT TOOLS,” that it will invalidate the warranty, etc, etc. (He doesn’t read instructions, wouldn’t follow them if he did.)
This continues for awhile, his impact wrench comments directed at me as I’m drippin’ sweat everywhere as I crank. You know, stuff like, “Dad, a real man would put down that breaker bar and go for the impact wrench.” On and on, me stickin’ to my guns, him raggin’ on me about my pig-headedness.
Anyway, so awhile later I was re-reading your post about my set up. I had previously seen the “Looks right” part, but had missed the second part (below your photo) in which you had to go valid his argument with your “Normally, I would use an impact wrench to get it moving.” I was the good loser, however, and did show him your recommendation…
I take it you’ve never broken a SIR tool this way??
