Did a funny today

[CWO4]

Let me tell you a 1" breaker bar with 2 feet of cheater bar added will take off anything??
Let me tell you the story:
I have a 2023 Ranger XLT FX4 and I am putting the Fox 2.0 stage 1 suspension on. I have Icon Rebound 17" 8.5 +25 mm rims with Falken AT3W 275 70 17R tires so I got the Readylift high clearance crash bars. I felt I could put these on myself after reading the directions. I started on the front passanger side front like the directions said. I cut the crash bar off, with a little difficulty (need to learn to cut straight), then went to take the nut off. The directions said this would have a 60' torque so I put my 1/2" impact on it, did not move. Then went to a 1/2" breaker bar, no go. Then went to a longer 1/2" breaker bar with cheater bar, no go. I then got out the big gun, 1" breaker bar with 2 foot cheater bar, broke it lose. Yea I am a bad ass, good to go, then I realize that the nut is part of the frame and I was suppose to remove bolt not nut. Good thing nobody had video or audio on me. I see nut, remove nut, see bolt remove bolt does not always work.
Any way 1 crash bar in 3 more to go with some well learned knowledge.

Don’t be too hard on yourself - you’re not the first to make this mistake but you’re first I’ve seen who was “successful” in breaking that nut.

I’m impressed you broke it! A win is a win in my books?

Admit it, you were making this face just before it broke loose……

Pretty damn close

I hope you don’t do engine work ?

Not anymore but the crash bars are in.

That's awesome. Where there is a will, there is a way.

I see nut, remove nut.

Spoken like a true cave man mechanic.

If at first, you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer.

LOL. Where there's a will, there's a way. Edited: I see Chuck beat me to that one...
