what are you trying to get loose? Impact guns work if it has a lot of torque. Did you try a cheater pipe?

cut them, you arent supposed to reuse them anyways. they pretty much break if you go to take them off a older truck anyways. but if you were to heat them up red hot they would probably come off but might take the thread with them.

i tried to take some ubolts off a 04 with 40k on it a week ago, wouldnt come off with a strong impact, i just cut them
