Thats pretty funny! Hahahaha.

I hope it helps someone. This is my first go and i have been at it for like 5hrs.

The adams drive shaft video makes it look so easy.

Im super stoked now.

I just dread putting it back on. Hmmmmm

I use it as a breaker bar. It was never accurate from the start.

Maybe ill keep it as a loaner now.

I use my harbor frieght torque wench over any of my craftsman. For some reason all my craftman torque bars all end up becoming my breaker bars. I have the worst luck with them.

I wonder why? Hmmmm.

Usually just having a yoke holder with the bar end jammed against something is sufficient enough to be able to remove the nut with either a gun or a 2nd breaker bar.

When I took my front pinion nut off it was an exercise in patience and frustration. I used a cheap breaker bar and a floor jack pushing up on it. The breaker bar was bending pretty good but finally the nut broke loose.

If you really want a good impact tool, look no further than this: View attachment 265890 It says it has 1,200 or so footpounds of nut-busting torque. I ABSOLUTELY believe it does. When I opened this bad-boy up, the first thing I tried was busting loose a trailer hitch-ball. 3 chacunkas and it was loose! The nut was hot too! Lots of powah in this thing. I've heard rumors it'll remove lugs off of a semi-tractor. [emoji106] I wish I had this for that pinion nut when I did mine. [emoji51]

The toughest part of that is doing on the ground. You have no leverage on your side. A more controllable version of gaining leverage is using a floor jack under the end of the breaker bar and slowly adding pressure to get it to turn.
