For "some reason" I bought a used small 4000# CTL for those little jobs....the undercarriage had some wear and neglect, so it is in the shop along with all the other projects. Getting repaired and adding to the parts bill. LOL
Removal of the drive motor hydraulic hoses for access was required and we were barely able to loosen them using the double open end service wrenches (tight congestion). Box end or flare nute 'crows foot' was useless, a standard open end crows foot slimmed with a grinder did help.
Then with the magic of the internet, these tools popped up.
Made by LTI Milton they are named Shockit.
Like a box end flare fitting crow foot wrench but no square drive: has a shoulder with a shallow hole that the special point chisel from the air hammer fits into.
There are a couple videos on you tube showing applications. The Milton catalog pg 218 shows the various pns to cover the SAE sizes (LT1920 and LT1920XL). I also noted if the tool is LTI sourced say from Summit, the part number is different (LT1900) and the range of the pieces is more likely in the size I need.
Then this: To make the items more tempting, Milton's air hammer is two directional and can be fitted with a tool that is mfg with a flat end that can for example hook under a lip seal and pull it outta the bore. The slide hammer wont be able to smash the skin on the web between my thumb and hand: so sad to keep the slide hammer on the shelf / in the drawer.

Has anyone experience with these tools? I'm contemplating an order for the LT1900 set and the two way air hammer kit. It is indeed a tough time for the budget, being Valentine's day is imminent.
