I just use a pair of crow bars if it's a stock damper.

yeah.

Personally I don't as I prefer to get a feel for the condition of the fasteners as I remove them but it's really up to you.

air tools are for lazy bastards


anyway, after my hubby struggled to get our crank pulley off with the gear puller for 30 minutes, I went out and removed it in 5. He thought he'd be a smartass and leave the radiator in, when it's much easier to get to w/o. Patience, my dear.

CS: You may be but are you replacing what they thread into?

good point. i hope my weaksauce breaker bar can handle it. i swear its so hard to find 1/4'' drive long breaker bars for these smallish bolts.
