[Shotimes] Help...I have a stuck damper bolt...

[clubairth@bellsouth.net]

I have done this but DO NOT recommend it. But you gotta do what it takes 
sometimes! Fill your impact gun with a good big slug of air tool oil. Hook 
up air hose,have maximum pressure available and press trigger only when the 
socket is on the bolt. You will have a impact gun powered by an 
incompressible fluid. Something usually will give. I have had to repeat this 
several times before I got results.
