Need a quick answer tried searching kinda dumb but want to double check. Gonna put my stock steerting wheen back on is it ok to use an impact for the 19mm nut on there?

 

Use a tq wrench.....why you would use an impact truly boggles my mind...

 

Also you are going to need an extension to get in there that deep.

 

I wouldn't impact it on. I don't think that nut is torqued that much anyways.

Yea, well I would like to see him impact it on at 36ft pounds. NOT I take no responsibility with what he does, so just throwing the tq spec out there.

You not being able to spell "truly", truly boggles my mind.

 

juss tighten the nut..torquing it is unnecessary.

 

I think I am confusing everyone.I was planning on using the impact to get the nut off NOT putting it back on

Dude, who cares what you use. Just get the damn thing off

 

I care, thats why I asked I don't want to strip the nut and be screwed

 

get a fat *** breaker bar and turn it off. it feels like it will snap but trust me it wont. ive done this with a little ratchet and put my intake on it for more leverage and it came right off.

It is not on there tight from the factory, a tq wrench or breaker bar will get it off with ease, few taps with a mallet will break it loose on the end of the wrench you are using if using a breaker or ratchet...no tapping the tq though haha.

that made me lol!!!

 

I've been known to use a tire iron on occasion...the cross kind. It gets the job done

 

you could take it off with the impact it wont hurt.i use an impact to take off everything hell i do headgaskets and take the bolts off with a impact!!!i even take the spark plugs out and put them in with an air ratchet ha ha..just be careful and dont try to muscle everything.i once worked at a shop that the owner saw me putting in the spark plugs with a air ratchet he ran over there on the last spark plug and was like what the!!!!i have been doing it for years working proffesionally.

 

i did mine with a breaker bar. Worked great in my opinion.

 

u are a whole bunch of sizies..
use your teeth ill tell ya
