Solved! I bought $56 "Litheli" cordless impact wrench from Walmart. It's slightly lower torque than what's sold at Amazon, but can't complaint about the price, though. I think, it was caused by surface rust between the bolt and wheel rim, and not on the threads. So, impact helped to loosen it. On 2023-11-03 03:07, William Park via talk wrote:
Hi (another very off topic),
Wheel bolts on my VW are seized pretty hard. Standing on 24in breaker bar doesn't help, and that's 300ft-lb torque. So, I'm thinking about getting an impact wrench. Those with greater than 300ft-lb are very expensive. I found one with 250ft-lb spec at my price range.
Question is, is there difference between static torque vs impact torque? In other words, will 250ft-lb impact wrench loosen 300ft-lb bolt?
Browsing YouTube, I learned that torque specs are always misleading and inflated. This means, I have to find 600ft-lb or greater, and that's serious money. --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
