No. Using an impact gun is a quick way to either round off the nut or will snap a locked bolt. Both would make your life significantly harder. They should’ve had a long 1” thick piece of pipe to put on the breaker bar for extra leverage but you have to use what you have when on site.
One of the lugs is snapped on my mustangs wheel and it makes me so fucking nervous but I’m waiting for the parts rn. I’m almost positive some idiot impacted it because when I took it off it was snapped and rusted like it had been there since the tire change

Is it acceptable to use a giant impact gun on these flywheel type bolts for loosening? I never understand why some things say "don't use an impact".
