So what's the torque on your air gun? Last time I tackled the u-bolt nuts I used a 2' breaker bar and about a 250# deadlift effort. That's 500 lb-ft.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I wanted to restore the painted letters on my tailgate that were covered over 22 years ago when the truck was painted. I bought the vinyl letters on e-bay and began to install them. They give you one extra letter to practice with so I put on "chevr"........and then the "r" didn't look just right so i tried to adjust it.....that's when it pealed the paint off exposing about an inch of the old white letter, d@#$ it...so now I pulled off the other letters-wound up with no new letters and about three areas that pulled the paint off on a otherwise clean dark blue tail gate. sucks!
