The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-ion Brushless Cordless High Torque 1/2 in. sq. Drive Impact Wrench (XWT08Z, tool-only) combines 740 ft. lbs. fastening torque and 1,180 ft. lbs. break-away torque with extended run time and speed control for unmatched fastening performance. It features an efficient Makita brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. The electronic 3-speed power selection switch gives users more precise fastening control. It is ideal for a range of users, from iron and steel workers to pipe fitters, railroad and automotive mechanics, forming carpenters and more. It's part of Makita's expanding 18-Volt Lithium-ion series, the world's largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt Lithium-ion slide-style battery. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

      My two cents is that if it is still running after 5 mins...not smoke, crazy noise, cel on or seized engine...you are good to go. Oh and something important....not piece left jejej. Keep an eye on the coolant while it is still on...so that you can add extra on the reservoir. John will be sending you a diploma with the timing belt certification. Good job, i'll do mine too...How hard was to remove that crank pulley bolt?...

      I over-prepped for the crank bolt due to horror stories. First thing I did was open up that wheel well and spray it with liquid wrench. Normally I use PB blaster, but allegedly liquid wrench is slightly more effective, so I went with that.

      I let that simmer for a good hour, hitting it again at the 30 minute mark.

      Then I hit it with the super socket (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RGNCV1U)

      Using this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Makita-...rive-Impact-Wrench-Tool-Only-XWT08Z/206637027

      That bolt popped off almost immediately without the slightest trouble.

      Wow, I didn't know Makita was also in the cordless high torque impact wrench business, very nice! Dewalt came up with these cordless high torque wrenches first, but currently, Milwaukee is the market leader. I hope that Dewalt would come up with a Flexvolt impact wrench and take the lead again.

      I don't think you over prepped, what you did made the bolt a non-issue for you. If you hadn't prepped you would have ended up totally frustrated. Great job on getting that done and now you have a nice new tool for future jobs that was sort of free seeing you saved a bunch of money on the job. My cordless impact gun isn't as powerful as the ones listed but I use it quite often, I should have bought one sooner. Huge time saver.
