Hello all,
This may seem a stupid question, but I've asked that kind before so I'm
willing to ask that kind again:
Can you use an impact wrench to remove the pinion nut when the differential
(pumpkin?) is removed from the car?
(I don't have much personal experience whith impact wrenches, as air
powered tools are still just a dream in my little world.)

him) Coleman
