Any1 Got A Cordless Rattle Gun I Can Borrow?

[3LGODZILA]

i've got an 18v hitachi cordless rattle gun but it doesn't have enough balls, also tried using a cheapo air rattle gun running off my pissy little $150 air compressor but again not enough balls.

trying to change the crank angle sensor on my dads vx commo but cant get the bolt off for the harmonic balancer, if anyone can help plz msg me on 0430 500 276 - will hook u up with some beers for helping

tried a solid ratchet bar and mass leverage? or is it auto? i have a 18v makita one but i doubt it'd be any better than the hitachi

[ahh 33 s2]

Unplug the coil pack harness and put a beaker on the bolt and hard up against the frame and give it a very quick crank, that will get the sucker off

yeah its auto

yeah i searched google and a few people have mentioned this method, think ill keep this as a last resort haha, coz how do u tighten it back up, obviously with a rattle gun but if it doesn't have enough torque to loosen it it may not have enough to tighten it up?

could also try a solid bar and a hammer if theres enough room to swing. decent rattle gun will do it back up more than tight enough most of the time

Did you manage to Get the bolt Undone? Done A million and 1 crank angle sensors over the years i worked at holden and i can vouch that placing a bar and levering it off the Ground works best as you dont damage the chassis rail (chipped paint and dents etc). let me know how you get on with it

yeah went great, borrowed a long breaker bar which reached the floor, came off first crank. Yeah i didnt really wanna go off the chassis if i were gonna be using the breaker bar i wanted to atleast do it properly.
