In searching for the best way to remove the crank nut, it looks as though an impact wrench is the general consensus. So I went down to harbor freight and picked up one of their 1/2 electric impact wrenches.
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to do the trick for me. Is because I'm not using a suitable socket or because I'm using a 1.5 in vs 38mm?
Would this hex shape at Amazon that's a true 38mm and designed for use with an impact wrench be a better choice or waste of money?
