Hub nut and Brake hose?

[rutti]

Hi All!

Need some advise on the number of brake hoses (is it 4 or 6) on a Aus delivered 8v (1990)?

And also, have anyone used a corded impact wrench to loosen the wheel hub nuts before? (Although would love to use a cordlesss one but I doubt there is anything in the market within reasonable prices)
Reason I am not using a breaker bar is firstly I don't have one, and secondly, I already have the car on axle stands, so I am thinking of getting a corded impact wrench to undo them to replace a few things.

Thanks for reading!

Tbh- even a good cordless one would struggle to crack the hub nut. Get someone to step on the brake pedal while you undo it. Where are you located?

Corded generally has more torque over batteries, it won't lose power and is more reliable. If you can live with the hassles of a cord, I'd say corded.
You can always get a plank of wood, wedge it under and against the force of the wheel. This will stop it rotating.

IIRC you'll have 6 hose's.
A pair for the front calipers, a pair to the rear beam and a pair from the beam to the calipers.

Stick your head under the car lol

Jam a screwdriver in the middle of the disc and let that swing around onto the caliper. FIT at least 2 wheel bolts back into the hub. That little screw that holds the disk on will not survive.

I don't fancy the chances of any impact gun myself. My Snap On one won't touch hub nuts. My compressor is too weedy to power my air one.

Buy a breaker bar, I use mine all the time.

Even with air it doesnt mean if you buy the best gun itll do the job, the air line thickness and how much air the compressor can feed it, your gun is rated and if the compressor doesnt meet it then forget it. Simple as this 30mm on a decent breaker bar with the car on the ground and stand on the bar, ive watched apprentices try to pull the bar up, hurt your back and then also slip and damage the guard. i tell them to treat it like the dearest 911 they have ever worked on, most cars are the owners 911 to them anyway, so its a good way to explain it to them, stand on the bar so that the worst the bar will do is come off and hit the floor.
Jack car up and finish it off.
