Shouldn’t be difference in pressure. The bolt squeezes the bushing sleeve in between the two tabs, the sleeve shouldn’t rotate with the CA.Not a flag nut. Jeep is on the ground. Also pressure or binding on the bolt should not prevent the nut from coming off.
I think it depends on what you've already got in the shop. I'd definitely go M18 the compact, mid, and high step up in power, but also in size. The mid may be a good all around compromise. You won't need one key.Which of the sixty something Milwaukee impact wrenches is a good choice?
I have been using an old Ingersol Rand 1/2" air wrench for the tough nuts and occasionally reach for a small Dewalt battery impact driver to quickly spin a fastener into position.
The spritz of Blaster and some patience will work.Not a flag nut. Jeep is on the ground. Also pressure or binding on the bolt should not prevent the nut from coming off.
Seriously never seen a piece of Cat equipment before? I do everything from simple lube jobs to full rebuilds. Breaking down track on a dozer will absolutely destroy all of these electric impacts. Even the 3/4 drive ones. Lower control arms are not even on my radar for something that is tight. But not everyone has to torque things to the spec that I do on the regular.You guys fix/sell a lot of cats?. Ive never seen one before. What do you do there as a tech?
Last time I loosened them I jacked up the jeep and used a cheap amazon giant electric impact that I have (porter cable) Not cordless. It worked.
My bad. For some reason I thought you meant car and I made a bad joke.Seriously never seen a piece of Cat equipment before? I do everything from simple lube jobs to full rebuilds.

I bought some PB blaster but forgot to use it. Im over it now. Ill have a shop do it. Maybe check the tq on my ball joints as well. Jeep only have 400 miles on it.I just did this last weekend. I used a few shots of PB blaster at night and my Milwaukee M18 mid-impact the next morning. I would not say the bolts came right off, but I got them off. I’ve only got 2000 miles on my Jeep so that probably helps too.
For re-torque I’m assuming the alignment shop will get them back to proper torque once I get that done. For now it’s paint marked at as tight as I could get.
