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.

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
