Thanks for all the confidence guys. An extremely simple job that made me realize even more my need for an impact gun... Sure glad I didnt pay someone $100 to do that...

Good answer

I got one this past year as a present to myself! Cordless so I can take it to the track

You don't need an impact for that. Just a good old fashioned breaker bar.

Oh but it's so much easier with an impact gun! Besides, power tools are fun

WTF?
I hope I can use it instead of my manual "bar breaker"?
DeWalt was the only one I found with over 80 FT LB of torque that is required.

I was actually thinking you could just swap my wheels too since you make it look so easy.

I do make it look easy, experience is the key. A cordless tool would be "da bomb" and now you have one for us to use!
That or we get Colby to drive up and change our stuff when we need it?
Then I could sun tan in between sessions!
Where do I get all these great ideas?

What did you buy for an impact driver?

If there is one thing you don't need its a tan...

Got a dewalt. I thought you had one this last season? You only have about 20 drills.

I have a DeWalt or Bosch on my Christmas list. Bought a cheapo one last year and all it does is spin the nuts...no torque.

Dewalt has one (mine) that has 300lb/ft of torque !

careful torque is sometimes in other units like lb/in
