electric impact wrench for pulley bolt?

[passat TS]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

I think you will damage the bolt without removing it with the electric
250ft/lbs impact.

I have an electric and a pneumatic, and I use them a lot.

I'm also considering buying a cordless one for away use (U-Pull-It boneyards,
Rally Service, etc.)

One more thing, for weekend use buy a cheap one. It will probably last enough.

Cheers,

Carlos.
