Or break out the oxy-acetylene
In one of his tool tear-downs, AvE gave a good review to the Harbor Freight
"Earthquake" impact wrench a while back. At the time these were made in Taiwan.
Might want to check before buying that is still the case and they have not
switched it to mainland PRC.

I've got a Makita 1/2" impact, it's the "big one" for 1/2" drive and pretty
powerful.
A couple months ago I had to replace a front wheel bearing on my 2015 VW Jetta.
It's a unit bearing and the nut just laughed at my Makita so I brought out the
Aircat 1/2" drive air impact which also couldn't
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
My '84 190D had the front wheels torqued so tightly that they warped. I ended
up taking it to a guy who had a 1" drive impact wrench normally used for big
trucks. We had to use a couple adapters to get back down to the right size and
were worried the adapters were going to break. Still got 'em
If you are going to make a habit of dismantling cars, you need to get a
good impact wrench.

I managed to get the front wheels off the ML350 parts car. I think the bolts
were cranked to about 200+ftlbs as I had to stand on the bar and jump a bit
with my 194lb container. Got the transfer case, transmission, and torque
converter off the engine. I am told those were fine when the engine
I have a bunch of “private” knackers around that specialize in European cars,
but their prices are just stupid.
LKQ isn’t too far from me, but it’s worthless. There are “lot rats” that strip
anything and everything of value on cars as soon as they come in, no doubt to
resell on eBay. So
I miss going on excursions like that.
