Slow and getting slower

Ya ^^ i agree. We have a 3/4inch snap on impact at the barn that i bet will get it as well. If it wont get it, chances are you dont need to get it out. And i wasnt kidding about the BG stuff, we literally hand spun the broken bolts out of exhaust mani in a tractor. It was unreal.

Well bad news, I am pretty sure I tore a bunch of ligaments in my right wrist and its very painful to use my hand to do anything much less work on my truck so progress is definitely slowing down...

Finally got that damn bolt off...broke another socket (3rd one) and said screw it and bought and impact socket set. I never realized the difference was that dramatic, but check out how much more meat there is on the impact one. Both are 15mm.

Finished setting up the 14b ring and pinion and got it put back together.

We've been trying to tell you that, bro

I know you were pulling at straws with the last socket but trying to use the 12 point on a bolt that already broke two other sockets was a complete waist of time. Glad you got it out and I am surprised with all the work on your trucks you are just seeing your first impact socket.
Hope your wrist is doing OK and with this bolt out of the way you can make progress in your spare time.
