Harbor Freight Tools has electric impact guns from 21.99 to 54.99. But I wouldnt get the 89.99 cordless one cause if it doesnt have enough power then the lugs wouldnt be on tight. Not sure if the 21.99 emergency one is strong enough since it only gives 150ft/lbs but the digital one that you can set to a specific tq like 80ft/lbs is quite nice. I think I would get that one. Its 49.99.

the only ones i have trouble with are the caliper bolts...the one on top and the one on bottom...there arent any other bolts that i can think would give me trouble besides those...

the only other screw that might and probably will give you trouble are the 2 screws in each rotor that hold it on. They are a bitch to get out however, if you get a chisel set, you can chisel the one left side of the screw (or whichever way to go counter-clockwise) and get it to turn IF you strip the fucker. You dont need these screws however, if you are the kind of guy that has to put them back in, then I would recommend to put some anti-seize or a bit of grease on the thread of the screw just so if the rotors warp for some reason sometime down the road, you dont have to fight with the screw again to pull it.

I think i was reading somewhere that these screws arent necessary to put back in? is that true? or should i go ahead as you said and apply some anti-seize to the screw and put it back in?

Over and over he kept saying....
Thank you for holding EVERY 20 seconds.
Let me pull up your order.
So you want the Posi Quiets...? Yeah, we can do that. Very popular choice! Please hold.
I had to spell my name out over 10 times (My name is Noah....ONLY 4 LETTERS!!!) Just a minute.
Then I noticed he still got my name wrong on the UPS email!
My friend was chilling at my house and was like WTF!
