After lowering the engine from the frame, I found it easy to repair the engine on the concrete floor. However, I did discover I could not remove the nuts from the cylinder bolts by myself using a breaker bar. If I had an assistant, I probably could have used the breaker bar to remove the nuts, but working by myself I could not hold the engine and get enough leverage on the breaker bar. Therefore, I decided to invest in a cordless impact wrench.

I decided to purchase a Ryobi P1830, Impact Wrench Kit, which was on sale for $129 at Home Depot.

I like this impact wrench because it has 300 foot-pounds of torque, and 3 speeds. I have subsequently used this impact wrench to change the brake pads and brake rotors on my automobile. I have also used this impact wrench to remove the crankshaft nut from the harmonic balancer when I replaced the timing belt on my automobile.

I now regularly employ this impact wrench to remove/replace the lower shock linkage, engine guards, et cetera, while working on my motorcycles. This tool makes working on my motorcycles much easier, and faster. Therefore, I highly recommend this impact wrench.
