Get the tool and use impact driver, trying to force it with brute strength could damage it. Just sayin.

Re: Bringing car car from Canada question?

Only problem I had was how to open the door to the customs office. They required nothing more than a bill of sale. The bite comes when you have to pay money to the licensing and sales tax guys

Re: King Pin Reaming

Kindly indulge my ignorance but how do honing and teaming differ? I would assume reaming is cutting a hole to size with bladed reamer and honing the same but using abrasion??

Re: why are so many people fascinated by cars of the 1920s

For me I like the simplicity of the machine, all mechanicals are visual and you can see and feel the function of each, kinda like playing with an erector set or tinker toys.

Re: Fuel tank neck basket removal

If you have the threaded style, buy the tool and put it on your impact driver, that worked very well for me. Tried extension bar on socket
would not budge.
