Hi all.

Needed to zip some wheel nuts undone on my landy earlier as one of the tyres has a slow which needs repairing.

I grabbed a standard 27mm socket from my trusty halfords set and undid them. I didn't use an impact socket (dont have one big enough).

Now, its stuck on the last few mm of the windy gun. I'm a relative air tools novice, but I can't get it off, no matter what I try. There is a collar on the gun's drive square, which I've only just realised!

So, has the time come to get the hacksaw out, or is there a trick I'm missing?
