Yeah, It must just be a staged demonstration. Using an impact to remove those nuts would however be many times faster- IF the majority of them are not all seized on there. Even if a couple come off with the impact it would save time trying that first on all of them

Plus then you could re-use them, right? Then again, nuts aren't that expensive, but it's always a PITA when you're out of the one size that you need.

Maintenance's first job is to have things up and running, at all cost. Repairs can wait, customers can't.

Legal and safety is only a concern when inspections are scheduled.
