How (NOT) to install coilovers
From Vivid Racing (whoa)
http://vimeo.com/45543987 He hit's every nut with an air impact... :eyebulge: My lord... DON'T DO THIS!! especially on the damper nut... You should NEVER torque anything down with an impact wrench and especially not an air one... the peak torque you get out of one of those is in the thousands of foot-lbs. We've done studies and impact torqued nut torque levels are WILDLY inconsistent. |
1000s?
Maybe 100s http://www.sears.com/craftsman-1-2-i...p-00919982000P Quote:

I use my huge impact on everything. I took off the panels under the car with it. I just turn the bitch down when I was tightening it up. Air for everything; I am too damn lazy to move my wrist, you kidding me!

1000s? No. I agree on not assembling stuff with an impact and the torque accuracy being non-existant, but even a Thundergun isn't putting down thousands on the tightening side.
You can impact with torque sticks, but I don't bother. |

Whatever works for you though :) |
Maybe someone @vividracing can explain why they do this!?

Thats makes me cringe.
I also hate when people use impacts on lug nuts. |
:sigh:

I'm alright with using air to remove but I would have done a lot of those nuts by hand to re-install. Especially the top strut nuts and strut top mount nut. Just my preference.
I used to look at vivid as a two headed demon because their customer service was the worst in the industry. But I have kept quiet and waited to see how they do in the BRZ/FR-S community. You can't really say that they did it wrong unless you know how the impact torque was set. |
dont hate based ona video
you have to know how to use tools, and not be one. I dial my air line down anytime I am tightening a bolt that later needs to be torqued. |
impact guns are nice for taking things off, never use it for putting something together
