I had the same problem removing a crank pulley bolt from a 302 i was rebuilding at home using a cheap brand electric impact. I borrowed my friends brand name gun and it came straight off.
Air tools are your best friend here.
Hopefully the penetrating lubricant will help.
Problem #2. My “Pittsburgh” brand 1/2″ to 3/8″ adaptor is slowly twisting apart. The tip rotated about 1/8 of a turn.
BTW: Steelers suck. 😉
Considering buying a $12 propane torch kit at Lowes.
Maybe I should have bought a 1/2″ drive 19mm socket to begin with.
Yeah I think I’m gonna do that. A 6 point 19mm socket is $5 and the torch kit is 12-13$
I’m going to try to save my slowly warping adaptor for when I need to take something else less strenuous off.
Update 3: I magically found a 1/2″ drive 19mm socket in the bottom of the toolbox, after getting rid of the extension and 1/2 to 3/8″ stuff, a couple of quick blips and the bolt came right off.
I guess I was losing torque not having the socket directly on the impact gun.
And it was my Chicago Electric brand impact gun that was ruining my Pittsburgh brand 1/2 to 3/8″ tip. So I guess that means Bears are better than Steelers?
I’m sure dreamer might agree.
