Logan has impact
All this month I have to make some major repairs and maintenance on Da Big Bus to get it “road worthy” for our upcoming trip to the Bay Area. Sunday I went up to Harbor Freight to buy a mongo impact gun to take off the lugnuts. I lucked out on a big 1″ gun with 1,450 ft-lbs of torque on clearance for $99. I also needed a big hose and big sockets to take off the big lugs. To run the kind of air the gun needs in copious quantities, I also had to rig up a punk take to send the air en masse to the beast.
Several hours later, it sounds like a NASCAR pit stop in our back yard, and the bus nuts are whirring off the wheels and the compressor is straining hard to make air between brief clatters from the gun. Ten lugs per wheel. Maybe ten minutes, and the outside dual is off.
Logan just had to give it a go on the inside dual. I held the gun while he pulled the trigger… but not before I snapped this pic that makes him look like he’s doing this single-handedly.
Who needs a GameBoy when you got big bus toys??!
