Stuck Bolts!!

[--weezl--]

it's your gun... i had a 100ft/lb 1/2 gun and a 200ft/lb 1/2 gun when i did my body lift, neither did anything, so i went and bought a campbel hausfeld 450 ft/lb gun from home depot for $100, and it still didn't do anything on a single bolt (other than over work my compressor) bought one of those small propane torches and used a snipe on a 1/2 ratchet and every bolt came right out...

ok thanks guys. I'll have to wait on the new gun till I get paid and have a compressor, but for now I'll keep trying the penetrating oil and the torch

Kinda looks like he's trying to take an alternator bolt off with the lug nut-sized socket.

Yes! And it also looks like he's trying take the alternator off before removing the serpentine belt.

Well.... the belt should loosen when the alternator is unbolted.

Good point, I've just always been in the habit of removing it first, figuring since it's under tension it could fly off or something.
