Is there a secret to the castellated nut on the back wheel, I'm using a
3 ft breaker bar and all I'm achieving is bending my sidchrome "T" socket handle. Anyone know of a trick to cracking it. Thanks in advance John |

If you're hopping on your cheater and your breaker snaps get ready to do some fancy footwork. I didn't want to risk it so I got craftsman 3/4 " breaker and sockets. However, the weak point of the 3/4" breaker is no stronger than the 1/2" breaker. Thanks for nothing. Seems craftsman is going harbor freight on us.

QUOTE(brp986s @ Oct 23 2009, 11:52 AM)  If you're hopping on your cheater and your breaker snaps get ready to do some fancy footwork. I love that feeling. You see it happen. Time slows to the point where you are sure you have enough to take corrective action. The tool snaps, part breaks, etc, and from that point you are your own passenger as you stumble backwards through the garage, eventually tripping over something and going ass over teacups. Its the extreme apparent slowness that is so interesting. It may be all over in a second, but at the time it seems to go on an on. Zach |
