i use an impact...but the breaker bar will work in tight places ..if it dont break loose just try giving the bar a little room to move first ..that should do it ...good luck

I agree, an impact is by far the best, especially when re-installing the bolt. The bar is my second choice cause it can save a lot of time & maybe busted knuckles pulling on something that doesn't want to come off.

IMO i wouldent use and impact gun ither, they vibrate a lot, and that is the last thing you want, correct me if im wrong here but vibration is what makes stuff loose right? i would just use a regular air gun/ratchet, then tighten it by hand.
