[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 441299, member: 18877"] The base milwaukee impact is only so useful for jeep, it's never going to get that off. especially when you are trying to remove a bolt that is torqued to over 100f-lbs. I think it's 125. These impact guns are not rated the same way as torque wrench, you cannot apples to apples them. I broke down and bought the new mid-torque when that came out last year. But everyone is right, you have to use a breaker bar. Plus, WD-40 is not the right product to use for this. It is a water displacement chemical, not for breaking free rusty bolts. Go pick up some Liquid Wrench penetrating oil. When you put it back on, use a torque wrench. This particular bolt needs a very high torque rating and can cause problems if it is not tight enough.
