The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I'm looking for a cordless impact wrench for the pcx and other cars I work on. I want to know how tight in footpounds the tightest Bolton the pcx is so I know which wrench to choose . I know they aint required but I love tools

My impact wrench is over 200 foot pounds and that's WAY overkill for anything on PCX. Use it to remove but not to tighten. Use a torque wrench to meet your specs for reassembly and BEWARE some SM's show (inch pounds) which you will need to convert to foot pounds or strip your bolts for sure.

I have one of these kit. I use it at work but it's plenty powerful enough for a scooter.
The rule of thumb is use it to loosen and nip it up when tightening and correctly torque the component afterwards. You can't go wrong then.

The batteries and charger are interchangeable with rest of the range so you could get a flashlight or drill body etc.

cool ty u both I adore tools I have a toque wrench got it the other day. ill use it for sure to tighten stuff

You don't need an impact wrench, if you love tools ,what does work on a PCX very well is a power impact driver socket

them 1/4 drives i cant find any big socket for themonly like less then 10mm. im thinking a going with a multi speed ryobi 1/2 drive since i already have other tools that use the same battery

Do them up till they start getting tight then do em up a bit more

If you get an impact wrench/gun, you will need hardened steel impact sockets (they're usually black).
Even chrome vanadium steel 1/2" sockets are too soft and will chew out around the drive bit on an impact wrench.
If going by hand, quality 3/8" drive sockets will go a long way and do the 44ftlbs on the variator nut (unless you get Chinese pig steel...).
I use a cheap 3/8>1/2" drive adapter for that one huge 39mm socket you need for the clutch, and it works fine for me.
Don't cheap out and buy 12 point sockets, they chew up nuts and bolts like no one's business, and they're more likely crack and slip.

sweet ride dude u sure did much work on I sure hope these work I already brought them they have a weird design but seem to be reviewed well

These sockets aren't the best in my experience. (I'm a mechanic to trade)
Full hex sockets are the ones you want. They don't slip, especially if your getting budget ones like multi hex sockets might do.

Six pt sockets are the best , but for driveline work on the PCX 44 lbs and 39LBS of torque are not any big deal. Any good chrome Vanadium will do just fine. I use air impact wrench and chrome without any issues. However, if you are torqueing 80-100 ft lbs auto lugs nuts or engine cylinder heads then go get the impact sockets and heavy duty 6 pt. design like the mechanics say above.

Excellent idea.
