I swear by those 12v rattle guns not as fancy as say an 18v gun but good and reliable plus they are rebuildable.
I changed the OE sockets cause they were Shite for decent impact ones. As its way too hard for me to use a
wheel brace MY 12v rattle gun is awesome.
Great for off road if you have a stubborn wheel nut, as ET said never failed me yet, always in the Patrol

Yeah the sockets are absolute crap and I did the same IE replaced them with quality Impact Sockets from the 'bits n pieces rack' at Covs.Originally Posted by threedogs
Didn't even know mine was rebuildable.
Mine gave me a bit of warning so when it eventually expired I just chucked it as I had already got another.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
went round and borrowed a rattle gun from a mate and the b..sted still wont budge .. hoping its a weak gun (Black Ridge 310Nm) will try to grt my hands on a bigger one
got a better gun and the timing chain is off ...when i removed the sprocket i found the AA, BB, marks were not aligned although the TDC and chain markings were in the correct placement ... does this matter on removal or are the AA, BB, markings only for re-assembly

well the head is off and had quick look at things. I have the standard cracks around all the glow-plug holes and also between the intake and exhaust ports on 2 and 3.
and there is a crack in 3 and 4 piston. not happy...will clean things up and have a better look tomorrow
Timing marks are only for assembly really. If you keep rotating eventually they will line up again. With take a fair few rotations haha.
Thanks Dale .... think i will be doing a rebuild or reco swap depending on time and funds
If anything fails give the guy at Kangaroo Creek imports a bell.
He sent me a switch when mine failed after ten or so years,
Great out bush especially if the tyre mob have rattled the living
begeeza out of your wheel nuts for fear of them coming loose.
@2002 it might be the way the power is delivered, my 12v gun winds up then thumps ,
then winds up again and thumps eventually it will loosen.
Out with the CRC or similar, even Freezo
see you got it off ok, thats a lot of cracks were you using/losing coolant

she was slowly losing coolant but no sign of smoke till she went
High on my list is a water temp gauge, problem is where to put it.
Being important I think in front of the speedo cluster in a single pod
might be the go.
