Videos wouldn’t play. Saw the pic. Get a sawzall, plenty of room. Cut that bolt on each side of the shock.
Dino soar and feldsforever Thank this. -
Scissor Jack out of a small car makes holding cab up while changing cab shocks and airbags a breeze and antiseize. Not sure why mfg’s can’t use a little antiseize from factory
JoeyJunk, feldsforever and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
Looks like he did cut it, get a 4.5 inch angle grinder, the cutter you used is handy occasionally, would have been far faster and easier with angle grinder.
feldsforever and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
Going to buy the new bolt Tommrow.
4.5 angle cutter is now on the list.. First I'm saving up for a impact I can use/carry with me. -
Im for makita personally but plenty of other options as well.feldsforever Thanks this. -

3. Dewalt
2. Makita
1. Milwaukee
Dewalt is ubiquitous, usually within +/-10 % of makitas cost. Dont like the tonka toy color and how easy it would be to lose if near a construction workers stuff. Batteries, unimpressed
makitas build quality is a bit above dewalt, batteries are top notch and last, and tool selection is massive
I would technically prefer milwaukee but it costs at least 1.5-2x more for about 10-15% performance gainfeldsforever Thanks this. -
Milwaukee is definitely king of the hill for power but also probably price.
Not much the 1/2 inch Milwaukee can't loosenfeldsforever Thanks this. -
Ridgid is quite quality too
feldsforever Thanks this.
