You need more pressure in the tank.

I usually crank it up to 140+ PSI

You also will need a real impact socket not a chrome one.

I've ran into this problem at the junkyard. 2 breaker bars, an extension (which should never have been there), a ratchet (which i learned my lesson never to use that again)

And one bent breaker bar.


What kind of breaker bars are you guys using that will hold up to this?

Oh and I used PB buster.

To help you out I just ended up taking the axle with me and took a impact wrench to it.

I've yet to come across a bolt my impact won't pull of

you can also use a "nut splitter". We bought one at Sears for my buddies EF axle nut after it broke two 6' breaker bars.

try using the handle for your jack if it's beefy enough, and then connect it to a 1/2 ratchet/breaker bar whatever you have. some people don't use ratchets but that's how I always do it lifetime warranty on ratchet.
