Electric impact guns are only good for so much. Try using an air impact wrench if you have access to one. It WILL come off, you just need more torque ;)

lol... that air impact should get it off but if you dont have access to one just use a long cheater bar.. something is going to give!

It will come off with an air impact.. My fronts where like that..Just hold down the trigger untill it starts going.. it wont strip it unless you have a wrong size socket.. like I said, just hold it on there..

put a socket wrench on it
and then put a 3-4ft pipe on it and twist

spray some penetrating oil on them. i used a half inch drive cheater bar and they came off with ease. i believe there only supposed to be torqued at 57ftlbs but i could be wrong.

Get a bigger impact gun :devil:
Or use a long cheater bar like these guys already mentioned...
