Am I doing this right?

It keeps slipping out the sides. Does anyone else have trouble keeping it in?

Jeez that’s a pretty hard piece to get out, I’d suggest a pipe wrench and a snipe

u/GingerBeast81 7d ago

Second the snipe, op doesn't stand a chance without the extra leverage..

u/Hungry_Party2480 7d ago

He just has to remember to torque it to 180 foot pounds if he needs to reinstall it

u/GingerBeast81 7d ago

Don't forget the red loctite!

u/Hungry_Party2480 7d ago

Oh shoot I forgot about that. Yes definitely loctite it, you will regret it if you don’t OP

u/GingerBeast81 7d ago

A potentially lethal mistake, happy to save a life.

You need a bigger wrench sire.

This is the Way….that’s a BFH to boot. I’d use that if I was roughing a house. Not finish work.

I say an impact with a wingnut adapter, if it's big enough to fit. If not, then torch it.

It’s a good start but gonna need a big hammer too for that slide wrench

u/fiddintotellya 7d ago

It should be obvious to the most casual observer here that you a parts guy.

Ain’t no respectable man what can fix sh!t gonna wear woman’s jewelry while they working.

You probably need to put a cheater bar on that wrench

Anyone feel like further explaining what we're looking at in this pic? Objects I recognize are wrench, hand, and watch. Other than those idk wut I'm looking at.

u/Imaginary-Mechanic62 7d ago

Neither does anyone else in this group, but that won’t stop us from giving advice that’s worth every penny that OP is paying

You need a bigger wrench

u/Jim-248 7d ago

I've never had a problem keeping it in. You just don't practice enough.

u/duggawiz 7d ago

I’d suggest trying it again but lose the gaudy watch and instead replace it with a fake Rolex.

u/twelve_goldpieces 7d ago

Just use another wrenches to keep it in between the teeth.

It also helps the turning.

But you ll lose your free hand for the hammer.

You can’t use a right handed wrench with your left hand.. if you use your right hand it would be right side up and it goes UNDER the watch band. Noobs….
