If you need extra leverage, use a short piece of pipe on the breaker bar, works wonders. Heating the nut with a torch helps a bunch too.

Electric impacts can be very helpful if you do a good amount of your own repair work, they are much larger than most air impacts but get the job done nicely if you dont have a large compressor to support an air impact.

Also, when re-installing everything, do NOT tighten the nut with an impact.
theres a term for that as well, anyone remember?
