I was thinking the same thing about mine.  I didn't see a good way to do
it.  I was tempted to take the thing apart and *really* find out but good
sense prevailed.

I've read on this list a lit that you can drank up the pressure some.  I
always run it about 100 p.s.i. or so because I know there's some pressure
drop across the hose run.  A better idea would be a gauge at the gun I
guess.

um (and don't take this personally or anything), but what kinda thing is
it you're trying to removw lugs from?  I ask, becuase there's an off
chance it might have reverse threads...?  but you've already checked for
that, right?  not like I've ever done that myself, or anything...

or (and I read this in a magazine once).  heat it.  then stick a candle on
it, or spray it with lube (I've got pb blaster, dunno how good it is in
comparison to anything else).  the wax/lube is supposed to wick up the
threads and help loosen the nut.  repeat.  a lot.

good luck.
