Using pipe threader to remove cab bolts

[DwayneGorniak]

After reading these posts about the Hole Hawg I bought a rebuilt one on Ebay for $75 and used it to put cab bolts in one I had apart and it saved me about an hour. It only took 5-10 minutes to put them in. It will pay for itself in no time.

You have to put the drill against the frame or front tire before you turn it on or it will take you for a ride. These things are very powerful.

Did you buy the 3/4" Hole hawg or the Half inch unit?

I bought a 1/2 inch drill. I cut the female end off a cheap 3/8 drive extension and ground three sides on it and chucked it up in the drill with a 15 mm socket on it.

I heated up the bolts till they were glowing, then wound them past the loctite by hand, once i felt it 'give' per se, I used my 3/8 air ratchet.

 

This was on a fairly new truck though...so we will see how the rust belt treats us in a year or two.
