Well today I ALMOST had my car back together for my favorite Thursday night get together...all I had to do was align the exhaust after a control arm install, and drop in my rear shocks. Well I put the new KYB gas-adust in place with bushings on, started the screw, then torqued her down with my weak ass electric impact. Funny thing though...the damn threads stripped out on the damn shock!! I know this gun..used it on SEVERAL different areas of the car and the torque output is so-so, it gets the job done. I was a little angry...well actually insane for a period of time..I have NEVER had a problem with a damn shock install...hell I did a set for a buddy on sunday. Now I have a spankin new KYB on the way (more $ wasted), and a spankin new jacked up shock on my garage floor..with a faint shoe print on it. The thread was torn up even worse when I attempted to remove the nut...KYB will be getting a box and a less than pleasant note via ups. Anyhow I will ATTEMPT to install the new shock (well both actually I stoped after the first one) with no more effort than holding the cylinder in hand, and torque applied via 1/2 drive rachet..I assume the bolt should be able to handle that. ONCE AGAIN MY 5 MINUTE PROJECT TURNS INTO A COMPLETE ORDEAL...for the third time this week, I still love that damn car though.
nice of you to stop by, miss read my rant, then inform me of your success with a simular product...most helpful.
