Default impact wrench and air compressor


wrote in message
...

how do the spec-s of an air impact wrench relate to the air
compressor?
i need to loosen a crankshaft pulley bolt that is torqued at 134 ft-
lb. on a 1998 honda civic LX. i have a sears craftsman 1.5hp 4-
gallon @90psi air compressor. i don't yet
have an air impact wrench. what should i look for in terms of psi
when i go to buy one, such that i can use that air compressor to drive
the impact wrench to loosen the bolt? tia.




Usually PSI and CFM are the main requirements for tools. There are also
electric impact wrenches available. Have you tried a 3/4" drive socket with
a 4' pipe over the breaker bar.
