How big an impact wrench to get the Trans Pan drain out?
Like the subject says, I have been trying to get the factory over tightened trans pan drain plug out.
So far I have snapped my favorite 3/8" extension by using a 6' cheater bar on it.
Then I went to air tools, but my cheapie impact wrench is not up to the job.
I was at Lowe's, and there is a Kobalt 500 ft lb on clearance for $67 that only uses 4 CFM.
There is also an IR 600 ft lb for $179, but it will overmatch my compressor at 23 CFM.
I don't want to buy anything that won't do the job, but the Kobalt wrench would do everything else I need.
Is 500 lb ft enough to get these drain plugs out?
Thanks!
