Default some have an Impact Wrench I can borrow?

If someone can help me, just need to borrow it to remove a crank bolt. So someone got an impact wrench I could use to take the crank bolt out? I am doing a HCI swap and can't budge this thing.

I am in the Rialto area off Pepper by the 10fwy.

Where you located ss4luck? I was just messing with it and got it off. By chance using a breaker bar and stuck a rod in the pulley and knocked it loose with a hammer.

masterz im in Anaheim Hills off the 91 literally an exit away from the 241 toll road. One of my friends is bringing over his impact and compressor tomorrow. Were going to town on my cowl as well so i figure if everthing is going to be at my house might as well knock the bolt off while were at it

a big breaker bar, with a pipe over the handle to extend it will be stronger than an impact gun. lets say you are using about 150lbs of force on a 3 foot handle, thats 450lb/ft of torque. you wont get that out of a cheap impact and small compressor

Like what Killer-LS1 said. It really does work the best. I have every tool you could possibly need. I rent my tools out. Almost everything is snap on, the rest is Matco or Mac. Im in OC. 209-559-7342
