Just picked up this beast

[BMW-FW26]

600 lbs max reverse tq. Awesome gun. Perfect for when I rotate (I know you arent suppose to but tires are expensive!) and switching to snow tires. Also when I finish paying the M3 off, I can do my own brakes!

Nice...what brand air compressor do you have?

 

[BMW-FW26]

I have a Kaeser 3.5 hp SK rotary-screw machine. But other rotary-screw brands to mention that are good are Sullair, Boge, and SSR model Ingersoll Rands. But I didnt get these is because the lowest HP rating for these are 5. Too much air for just 2 tools.

Nice. But how do you rotate your tires? I thought the M3 has a staggered-width setup.

 

[BMW-FW26]

On my truck. $145 dollars per tire for basic Toyo tires. I rotate them all the time. But it takes guts to spin off all 8 lugs per tire. They say you arent suppose to rotate them without rebalancing them. I dont get why so I rotate them anyways.

I used to use an impact wrench to have to bust the bolts off the track on my Howitzer. Busting track sucks mad ass. Impact wrench made it easier....but not much.

What PSI is required for that beast?

Sweet. Looks like fun...

Nice! I've had my eye on an ingersoll-rand impact wrench... $150, 750 lb-ft torque (1000lb-ft breaking torque) etc.

What PSI is required for that beast?

I use 85 psi for all my guns. That way the 100 pound setting is more like 90ish. That way I dont have to use a tq wrench. Dry air, with inline lubricator is the best way to go out of the reciever.
