This past weekend my friend and I replaced the rear brake pads on my
2002 Honda Goldwing GL1800. It was quite a chore and much harder than either of us anticipated, but isn't every job that way?We ended up having to take the rear wheel off and that's no easy feat. In order to get the lug nuts off we still had to jack it up in order to spin the tire from one lug nut to the next. It's not like a car where you undo the nuts before jacking it up, the saddlebags block access to everything. Unscrewing the nuts would have been impossible with a manual wrench, but luckily he had brought his DeWalt 20V impact wrench and that was strong enough to get the job done.
I've decided I need to get an impact wrench for times when I want to get the tire changed. It takes far less time and cost to take the tire in rather than the whole motorcycle. I already have a Black & Decker
20V cordless drill so I'm thinking of getting this impact drill.
