REMOVING WHEEL NUTS
One of the most common uses for the
impact wrench is to remove car wheel nuts
for rotating the tires. Car wheel nut
removal is used for illustrative purposes.
DANGER:
Before attempting to
remove a car wheel, make sure all
jacking, wheel blocking and wheel
removal safety procedures illustrated in
the Owner’s Manual for your car are
followed exactly. Failure to follow those
safety instructions could result in
serious injury or death.
1. Install the correct size of impact
socket on the impact wrench as
outlined in Fig. 1.
NOTE:
The torque value does not have to
be set for removing fasteners. Maximum
torque will automatically be applied when
operating the impact wrench in the “R” or
counter clockwise direction for removing
fasteners.
2. Plug the impact wrench power cord
into an appropriate power source.
3. Grasp the impact wrench handle (1)
with one hand and the front housing of
the impact wrench (2) with the other
hand (Fig. 5).
4. Place the impact socket (3) onto the
wheel nut.
NOTES:
a) Make sure the socket is fully engaged
with the nut to avoid potentially
damaging the socket or the wheel nut.
b) Maximum torque will be applied to the
socket when the impact wrench is
used in the “reverse” direction
regardless of the torque setting.
