 Im trying to break the axel nuts loose on my 94st (7a) and they just wont budge. Ive tried electric impact gun, air gun, putting a crowbar between the studs to keep wheel from spinning (bent a stud), tried using my 1/2in. craftsman ratchet with a breaker bar and broke the ratchet. I dont know what else to do. Please help me with any suggestions, thanks.

its actually very believable. Unless you have an ultra awesome impact gun, you wont be able to get the same amount of torque onto that nut.
The breaker bar is your friend, i suggest investing in one if you do work on ur own car, they're great / neccesary for stubborn nuts and bolts. That and a butload of pb-blaster -------------------- AIM : FAQdaWorld
