At 406lb I doubt its coming loose anytime soon loctite or not. Zapped mine off and then on with my impact, been trouble free for nearly 15,000 miles.

you need an impact with 700+ ft lbs of torque to rip that bitch off, or a huge cheater bar. Its over 400ft lbs torque specs, so unless you have a 600ft lbs torque wrench, you are not going to get too far.

Glad I work at a heavy equipment dealer. We impacts up to 1 1/2 inch drives. Shouldn't be a problem for those. :waytogo:

Most of the newish IR/Matco, Snap-on, Mac 1/2 inch drive impacts are around 700+lb working reverse output. Even my ten year old 1/2 composite IR is 625ish lb. Enough to take 99% of the fasteners I deal with apart, or break them. The 3/8's are getting so strong I hardly ever need to use my 1/2 inch. Only problem is I bust the smaller anvils often.

Yep....I did mine with my cordless Snap-On 1/2 and I also find that I use my 3/8 Snap-On cordless on alot of stuff.

I tried that shit for about 30 seconds with the shock on the truck. For me, it was MUCH easier to remove the entire thing.

I'm with you swoop, I also tried to adjust the perch on the truck using the auto zone compressors and wasn't getting anywhere but more pissed off.. lol I removed the strut and did the whole thing is less time on the work bench. For me it was much easier to R & R from the vehicle.
