Anyone (Ryan?) got an air ratchet? Similar to what the tyre shops use on wheel nuts?

I've got a huge 36mm nut to remove off a bike's clutch basket, but even the breaker bar won't budge it. ;) Thinking an air racket tool would be the trick. I already have the 36mm socket.

I posted this up in wasteland, but I'm half expecting it to buried under the usual chit chat.

Anyone?

:P

I cant help with the impact wrench mines sitting in the states still..lol,,but have you tried a cheeter bar over the breaker bar? to make it longer? I'm sure you have but just a suggestion..lol

Tried that. Clutch pack is removed from the bike. Got it in gear and rear brake stomped on hard. But there is always that 1/4 turn you get before the pressure is really applied from clutch basket to gearbox to drive chain to rear wheel ... if you know what I mean.

An air (impact) ratchet would make short work of it. Far easier.

but it doesnt get it off the crank.

Out of all the timing belts ive done for dudes (about 30) i've never once used one. Can't fit a compressor in the back of a 33. hehe

lol hence the starter trick?

hey ruby i got one, it does the job. give us a call if ya need it 0423776884

Bingo!

Thanks Jenkies. I'll give you a call tomorrow :D I live in the Regency Park area, and will also be down south most of the day. Where you at?

I use a Dewalt rattle gun for crap like this. Has plenty of balls; no issues removing the bolts out of a diffs ring gear, flywheels etc.

Rattle Gun + Press + Welder are the most useful tools one can own.

D'oh! Didn't think you'd have something like that, so I didn't bother asking :D How's my Stag going? :P

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
