[Spridgets] 76 MidgetFront suspension

[Ryan]

That is called an impact driver. Friend has one he got at horrible freight for $5.

Also another friend said that propane may not be hot enough. Try MAP gas or find someone with oxy acetylene.

Amazon, Toolstation and Screwfix all sell them. Also, a very useful tool when removing the rear brake drum when the DPO has put the retaining screw in too tight!
