i did not buy that IR 3/4dr impact wrench. but curious WHY??

I would like buy IR 3/4dr impact wrench to do some work where i had to use 3/4dr socket on chrysler vehicles that use 1 5/8 deep socket to replace the pinion seal. i had to use 1/2 to 3/4 adapter. other time i almost blew the 1/2dr impact wrench because it is too rust on bolts and nuts. i rather to broke nut or bolts instead break my tools....

pinion nut should be torqued with a bar

pinion nut should be torqued with a bar

i just need to remove pinion nut off with impact wrench then replace the pinion seal and torque it with torque wrench.

you check the pinion bearing preload with a dial type torque wrench , you torque it with a bar . I prefer to sell pinion bearings and a new crush sleeve as it is hard to get the preload right with the old sleeve . food for thought , grasshopper

well, that vehicle what i am talking about is 300C vehicles that need 1 5/8 socket to remove pinion nut.

i did check the preload pinion bearing. most of them have defect pinion seal.
