The rattle gun is the go, maybe try lying it on its side and soaking some CRC in there overnight??

Try using an impact socket on the rattle gun.

There is a product called frezze and release saeco bearings stock it. try that

Saying electric impact wrenches deliver more torque is like saying blue bikes go faster, simply not true.

It's not a left hand thread?, if not go & see your local tyre shop. The 3/4" drive wrenches the fleet guys use should deliver ~600ft/lbs.

The standard 1/4" hose fittings that most "home" compressors & hoses use will restrict the output of a pneumatic wrench signigicantly. A cheapo 1/2"dr wrench will give you around 200ft/lbs on a good day, max.

just spray it on where the thread area is idea is the shaft will shrink and it will work it way down the threads ans use heaps dont be shy

no way in hell will a battery rattle gun push more than an air wrench .. TOPS is 400 ft/lbs on those and thats only with a full battery..

i have a 1/2 DR Sumake gun that pushes 1000 ft/lbs on the tool truck...
