27mm clutch nut

mikeyger · 11-04-2010, 04:40 PM

I am getting ready to put a my JOG and mean spring in and have a question. I have access to a air impact wrench and a pancake air compresser. Is this pancake compressor enough to get the nut off. I know an electric wrench is better but I am trying not to have to buy one.Thanks

In my experience impact wrenches need high pressure but not high volume.
A pancake compressor should work fine.

An electric impact wrench will break the 27mm nut loose? My Dad has one in his shop. I was going to spring for an air impact wrench to do the job. Already have the 27mm socket.

I have a 25 gallon compressor and I couldn't budge the nut with the little yellow coiled hose I use to fill tires or the blow gun. I had to dig out my 1/2" diameter rubber hose to get enough air to bust that nut loose.

It depends also on your gun, mine wasn't strong enough to break the nut, but my neighbours gun worked well.

Are the electric impact guns any good ? Canadian Tire has one on sale.

My son, a professional heavy truck mechanic has a Snap-On rechargeable 1/2" impact gun. It generates a surprising amount of torque. But it was around $400.

I used a electric impact wrench on that nut and was supprised how well it worked.
It was a plug in millwaukee I borrowed from work.
