broken craftsman = free replacement

Always use a breaker bar on the axle nuts, never a ratchet.

Yup.

I broke two breaker bars trying to get em off. Two seconds with a 350ft/lb impact gun and they came loose.

Bring it into Sears and say, "Can I have another one? This one is broken."

Are you talking about the 32mm axle nut? Definitely a breaker bar. If you are indeed talking about the half shaft bolts, someone mentioned an 8foot breaker bar? How you gonna get a bar in there? It barely fits a small 3/8inch ratchet.

I'd say, get yourself a new ratchet from Sears, some penetrating fluid (like Liquid Wrench), and a small piece of pipe. Stick the end of the pipe on the ratchet and yank away.

my impact gun didnt work originally either here is what u do. steal a candle from your mom get a torch and torch the nut try to concentrate the heat on just the nut then put wax on the threads do this a few times and u can watch the wax get sucked in then try the gun while the nut is still hot works like a charm.
