Removing jackshaft bolts with an impact ( yes you can).

For many years I've seen people claim that you can't remove jackshaft bolts with an impact wrench. I'm here today to refute that statement, as I've been doing it for years. It's easier with a very strong 3/8" impact, but absolutely doable with a 1/2" impact and the proper technique. Simply remove the front driveshaft for easier access and put the transmission and transfer case in neutral first. See video below for details.
