I need to borrow an impact gun

I have one of these you could try.

Not sure how it compares to a pneumatic. It claims 345 lb ft. I think a breaker bar with a cheater would provide more torque though. I think sometimes the impact can help break them loose though.

I borrowed one from Rodney, If it doesn't work since I've used all the breaker bars, heat, and cheaters I may have to punt and replace.......

speaking of said impact gun, any luck getting the nut off? I can pick the gun up at the first autox if you like so you don't have to drop it off at the house...

According to this photo I think that was a no.

Facebook link didn't work for me, but if you don't have it off by now, I would drill/cut/chisel the thing off. Assuming I am thinking of the correct nut, it's only "supposed" to be used once anyway since the flange gets peened into the keyway.

I fixtured it to a table with a huge peice of 316 stainless steel angle, large kant-twist clamps, and used a breaker bar and jack handle. 1000 lb/ft later it was unstuck. :thumbsup:
