Do they sell some kind of upgrade kit?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-24-2009 08:39 PM                     yes they do it requires changing the spindle post which often getting the inside nut off is the hardest job  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 01-25-2009 07:03 AM                        I'll say: we bought our first impact wrench just for that nut! You really don't need a new feed out unless it is very old. The #2357 is the plug that goes onto your old feed out plate.
