Westy's NUTs are off ....the 5ton that is...lol

[doghead]

If they had just left them alone, long enough, they might have rusted up and fell off on their own.

My deuce nuts were stuck for a few days and I got a new 1 inch drive impact, a 1/2 inch hose and fittings out of the deal. I guess if you have to wait a whole year to use borrowed gear, your nuts are REALLY stuck. Or in a vise.

And they were on there! We broke a 1/2 steel rod and I have a gash and a huge bruise on my leg to prove it. We figured around 1400 foot pounds they were torqued to when installed.

Sounds like they were installed with a Swench wrench!!

 

[westechs_wifey]

at first they tried to get the lugs off with 3/4 swench wrench and they wouldn't turn

I sold 50 of those, good to know they work.

and for a very good price too, if you snoozed, you'd losed.......

So, your saying Gimpy finally got Westy's nuts off? It's been over a year, right?

Thank you for your comment. I am now using my 'good' notebook computer to view this site while I recover files from my deceased 'beater' PC. To the point, said notebook now has many little bits of rice embedded in the keyboard and a coating of soy sauce on the screen. But that's all right. I'll let it dry out and use the rice a dessicant and the soy sauce as an anti-glare coating.

@ oilcan......I was with the boys for a week

I know, but I wasn't talking about "boy"-type humor. This is the stuff that MEN sometimes say. (Who am I kidding!)

Thread started yesterday and, well, here we are 31+ posts later. Amazing how a simple title will grab one's attention ...Westy's NUTs are off ...
Westy, I hope you are feeling refreshed, relaxed and reinvigorated...er, now that all that heavy work is done. Now, as I always say, Charlie-Mike, my brother...

this is my leg..... after I BROKE A 1/2 steel rod while using the geared lug wrench. The rod would have broke my leg if it hit the front of it and not the side. OUCH! I walk like Gimp now HAHAHA well not laughing at you.. just with you.

 

[Ferroequinologist]

Ouch!

Remind me not to let Gimp help me get my nuts off, he is apparently ROUGH!

 

[doghead]

Ever hear the phrase, "work smart, not hard"?

Next time, if you mess up, I'll make your other leg look the same, capisce(capische).

Jeez......in my younger days when we wanted to get our lug nuts off we'd get 10 bucks and go to town and find a hooker......the kids these days used geared lug wrenches.........how times have changed.........
And am I mistaken or does it look like Westy shaves his legs?????

 

[timntrucks]

wow that was funny.. i love my geared wrench but i use 2 handles .. one hitting the ground. i found it easier that way

THAT IS A LIE! Thats what his leg looks like after Fuzzy Toaster beat him like a red headed step child. Nice try Rich.

Man, I have found that compressed air works great in getting nuts off.
