New shock time; no air compressor for rear
Going to be doing the shocks today if it stops raining. I do not have a large enough air compressor for an air hammer for the rear shock nuts. If I use a punch and a BFH, will that still do the job?

Thanks. Yeah I'm sure the air hammer makes things easy.

I can get about 5 second bursts with a 5 gallon tank (maybe 2 or 3 cycles before I need to let the compressor catch up) and a crappy harbor freight air hammer. Mostly gets it done
Big is nice, but I got my 5 gallon compressor for $50 on Craigslist which is hard to beat...

I ended up grabbing a 10 gallon harbor frieght compressor that was on sale. As mentioned, I have no garage, just a basement. So everytime I use it, I will have to drag it out of the basement and hook everything up. It was light enough to carry.
It got the job done. Drivers side rear nuts popped right out. The passenger side one must have gotten extra tack welds because they were a *****. I ended up having to drill them partially and switch between the air hammer and hammer and punch. Not fun and ran out of time before getting the fronts on.

Dude, don't you know that everyone on this forum does engine rebuilds in the driveway using $30 worth of free hand tools?
You're gonna get flame trolled HARD if you start talking about needing anything more than a screwdriver and a hammer to work on these "simple" cars.

Though, judging by your attitude, I can't say I am surprised that you got some attitude back.
If you have a problem with the site, then just stay off it. Pretty simple. No need to come into random threads and start trashing it because YOU and only you had a problem.
