Just some food for thought....most air impacts develope their greatest torque in the CCW direction...this in anticipation of removing conventional threads, so use caution at full power on CCW tightening threads[:o)]

Hi Mick, Boy am I relieved, that's the way I remember my piners came off after I kept trying to remove it clockwise [8] Was embarassed to speak up, thought maybe oldtimers was setting in.

Dennis, you aren't the only one guilty of this mistake.  I would say over half the engines I have rebuilt over the years were brought to me after people couldn't get the nut off the counter shaft and/or the flywheel.[8D]
