Cant remember the socket size but I used a 6 point impact socket with

the
bolt is tight enough and they usually are!
I can't help myself to respond to this one although my response will have
little merit. YES, for removal of those big nuts up front on various TR
motors an impact wrench is nothing less than "the best thing since sliced
bread". Believe me I know for during my years of Bush League or Shade Tree
mechanics I have attempted all variants of alternative methods with little or
no success to get those off, usually resulting in a busted knuckle or two.
Really, with an impact wrench you can have it off and in you hand in a few
seconds. Never forget the first time I tried it. OH so way cool. I also
have used one to torque the nut back on! I always wondered about that? Not
sure if it is proper but that is the way is for me.
