removing front axel nut from wheel off car?

I was just going to suggest something along those lines Pu241. I will second the suggestion to tighten it a little after spraying some PB Blaster on it and letting it sit over night. After that the impact wrench should definately do the trick. On a side note; i've never had any troubles with my 1/2 inch impact either. It's always done the trick for me:-)

Wow, you must have an impressive gun! When they are really stuck on I have to jump on my 3/4" drive ratchet, which is around 18" long. So that's probably somewhere around 300 - 400 ft lbs I'm putting to it.

my impact (old Ingersol Rand) has a torque output around 600 lb/ft
