using hammers with strap wrenches

And when you finally give up, you may find the threads are LEFT handed. Paul Fortunately, the threads were known from the outset to be left-hand. A better-crafted drift proved sufficient to let the old Rotohammer break the nut free. The first try used a short length of 1/2" pipe for the drift, placing all the load on the annulus. Replacing the pipe with a pipe plug sculpted to fit the striking saddle on the wrench improved momentum transfer enough to move the nut. I should perhaps have explained that the car isn't a daily driver and there's no need for haste in fixing it. It's more important to conserve money and physical labor. Thanks for reading, bob prohaska |
