Could a long series of meteor strikes on a planet all at the same angle, tangent to the equator, effect the rotational speed of the planet?

And if so, by how much?

Edit: Say you wanted to get Venus to rotate faster. If you send several thousand meteors to Venus at the right angle, could the rotation be changed to something closer to Earths?

Absolutely. Take a globe and push it in the manner that you described. It will speed up or slow down depending on the direction that you're hitting it. 

Now make that globe the size and mass of the Earth. Your pushes will make it speed up or slow down, but the changes would be tiny. 

Now make your pushes stronger and stronger. Eventually, they will start having a significant effect on the rotation of the Earth.

(In reality, a series of meteor strikes large enough to change the rotational characteristics of the planet would likely destroy that portion before the rotation was changed significantly.)
