hehehee....come one down to my big rig repair area. 1" high torque impact. over 1400 ft/lbs :) It'll fix what ails ya...:) Actually this brings up a good point, when putting lug nuts/bolts into any vehicle I use an antisieze compound to make removal easier and eliminate corrosion. Probably the easiest solution is to get the proper impact socket with the 1/2" drive and a longer breaker bar (or a cheater section of pipe.) Louis
