ok is there any tips for unbolting the head bolts on a ls i just broke 3 sockets 1 impact 2 craftman need help asap thanks

 

Are you serious? Those bolts are only torqued to 60 ft/lbs. Take the craftsman ones back and repeat until you get one that doesn't snap.

 

yeah they shoudlnt be that tight lol..wtf is going on there

 

i snapped one before on an LS. they gotta be tighter than 60ftlbs after tens of thousands of miles. i broke 2 craftsman ones, they were older, but they replaced them and i was able to finish up. if you broke an impact socket you got problems

 

ok i broke 2 loose and broke one more socket do u have to have a reciept for the craftman i got it at sears but my bro bought them

 

Just make sure you hold the sockets down and make sure they're seated right. Use a breaker bar. They shouldn't break.

All they need to be is craftsman. I snapped a 14mm using it one my impact gun, Walked in said it broke and they got me a new one, no questions asked!!

 

That Bob Villa, hes a standup guy when it comes to warranty.

 

Yeah, you don't need a receipt. All hand tools have a lifetime warranty, so if they break, just take them in and they should replace them.

 

ok great news traded them for new ones just to come back and break them to imma get a impact bolt (thicker walls)

 

do anyone noe a cheap 14mm socket impact for cheap any store

 

harbor freight has cheap impact sockets. I picked up a 14mm deep impact socket for a couple bucks.


I didn't need them to loosen the head bolts though. be careful, if they are that hard to loosen you might end up breaking something and then you'll REALLY have a problem on your hands.

Try using a regular 14mm socket instead of a deep

 

thanks bought a craftman deep thick wall and got it thanks

almost done wish me luck
