Here is a gear box out of a X4. But you can see the pin where the anvil goes

Here's how to do it. Remove cap at back of impact. 4 screws. Then split case. There's like 8 screws. Lift off one half. Disconnect light connector. White connector above direction switch. Then slightly lift up on gear box and slide gear box off. Should slide off easily. Now remove...

Correction in part number used 42-06-0025

Here is the anvil I ordered. You drill out the opposite end of the anvil

Unfortunately, I only have the one picture

I drilled out the new 3/8 anvil. The anvil has to slide on a pin within the impact. It fits perfect

The torque is great with the 3/8 anvil. And it is easy to swap out the old one if problem arises. I use this impact a lot. No problems. For the price and warranty, I've been impressed. Maybe Ridgid should make a 3/8 impact.

I had Milwaukee. I liked it. Didn't like it crapping out on me every 8 months. I decided to try Ridgid because of the power and lifetime warranty. And I'm surprised your bits go through tool steel. I tried a few different bits. Wouldn't even touch the steel. I talked to a few...

Masonry bit is because the anvil is tool steel. Very hard stuff. Only bit I can fine that worked. The disadvantage to the adapter is you lose a lot of torque with those. And they break.

Here is the part number: 42-06-0305

To do it you need a 9mm carbide tipped masonry drill bit. Drill it 10mm deep. The anvil to use is a Milwaukee 3/8 drive anvil. Let me find the part number

So I posted a question a while ago about modifying a Ridgid Gen 5 1/4" impact to 3/8 drive. Well it is possible. And pretty easy too! And works awesome!

OK. So I found a anvil that will work with minimal work. Stay tuned!!!

I saw that link already. It looks kind of janky. It might work. I think I may have found a anvil that will work. Just have to modify it a little. But any other ideas are welcome. Thanks!

I have those adaptors. I have broken couple. And you lose a lot of torque with those adaptors. It's just a matter of finding the anvil the fits the best. Then you may have to modify it a little. Thanks though
