Should I Need A Wrench Or Breaker Bar To Get These Out

[Andre]

Ratchets are not breaker bars!!! The ratchet teeth and pawl can strip.

Some 1/4, 3/8, or 1/2" key stock and a wrench work as a breaker bar if you don't have one

Glad it came out okay, and listen to Bill. Some good anti seize goes a long way, I like the copper powder stuff over the aluminum powder.

I use a Hammer Impact Driver when things get stubborn, works great…Dave

I know that, the question was more along the lines of was it supposed to be torqued down that I needed to use a ratchet or a breaker bar instead of an Allen key, because I've got both in the tool box.

I gave them a good coating today before i put them back in.

This is what i used to put them back in.

Just one? didn't buy the set? That thought would have never crossed my mind.

Trust me, at this point i don't have room for any more tools than absolutely needed.

When I need a cheater bar on a hex key, I use a nice big adjustable wrench, like-a this:


I find it gives a really solid feel, and really applies the torque!
