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

Jenkies lent me his, so I'm all sorted for now. Thanks for the offer tho :D

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
