I’ve got a harbor freight electric 1/2” impact driver that does pretty well up to a point. I’ve been using that. It managed to get most of the bolts and various nuts off. I have a pretty good 1/2” Sears (ingersoll rand) air impact that has more torque but the big compressor is in the garage and the vehicle is on the trailer and not close by, so I’m roughing it.
