spray it with a lot of pb blaster and let it soak for a few min then try the gun again.

you mean shocking it? Uhm... As long as your careful doing that it might work. When I couldn't get mine off I just put a socket on there and hit the socket with a hammer like 30 times. Lubed it up. Then stuck the impact on there and it came right off.

No heat!! Main seal is back there.
You need to extend your breaker bar to like 6+ feet long. You need torque in this situation.
Also put your car in 5th gear and keep the foot pedal brake on. That'll hold things still as best as possible.

could always do it the old fashion ghetto way by putting the (17mm right?) with a socket and putting it against the frame and start the car lol you might end up breaking the tool tho
