Tue, 24 December 2002 11:40 "you should never touch an engine with a rattle gun. thats a disgrace. they are unpredictable and damage components. get a big breaker bar and do it more professionally than that. " -roadrunner Sometimes it's hard to find the room to fit a big breaker bar in when you don't have an two or four post hoist to fulfil that "professional" profile. Try doing it on an ST162, you can fit a smallish breaker bar, even with ramps to put the car up a bit, you just can't get to it from the top, have to go from underneath. Plus some crank nuts are on *extremely* tight. My "professional" (retired however) mechanic uses rattle guns on crank pulley nuts, and doesn't think twice. I'm not a professional by any means - I'm a home mechanic and I work on my cars and thats it, but it's not extremely likely that a rattle gun will damage components. Of course, I don't recommend going to the rattle gun straight away, but it's an option for some external nuts/bolts. [Report message to a moderator]
