Hey guys,
I’m trying to do a front wheel bearing on my 87 325. The axle nut is horrible 3 ft breaker bar with 3 ft pipe won’t loosen it up. So I’ve wanted an air compressor upgrade so I grabbed a harbor freight 21 gallon and their earthquake impact (rated at 950ftlbs). The nut wont budge! Is there an issue with the impact gun or are these nuts really this difficult?!
Anyways any ideas are much appreciated! If I can’t figure it out, I might end up cutting the nut off. I just figured the gun would strip it long before it gave up.
Thanks
Tommy
