I’ve always used 1/2 inch drive air impact wrench and a 6 side impact socket never had any trouble getting them off.
I've never met a cordless impact with enough balls to break a blade nut on a brush hog or pto finish mower. The just don't have that kind of guts.cordless impact wrench is what I use
Well there are several very powerful cordless impacts that will do that. Check it out. Mine is a Milwaukee with adjustable torque setting. Not CheapI've never met a cordless impact with enough balls to break a blade nut on a brush hog or pto finish mower. The just don't have that kind of guts.
When it comes to Milwaukee, nothing is cheap. The issue is, those high torque cordless impacts are way beyond the reach of the average Joe (and you know that).Well there are several very powerful cordless impacts that will do that. Check it out.

Left side had left-hand threads. I remember this even though I'm young enough to have only run into it once. Dad sent me out to get the left front wheel off a van so we could patch the tire. I took the service car and a cross wrench and jack. I could NOT break it loose. I went back to the shop and got the service truck (which had compressed air). Dad's hired help saw me putting the impact wrench in the truck and stopped me. He said "Chrysler?" and then explained it.My contribution to this comes late - but I'll bet it's the solution.
Some old time finish mower has reversed threads. That is, to loosen them, turn the nuts clockwise.
Old Chrysler products used to have the lug nuts on one side with same reversed threads, but I can't remember which side it was
Sure I have both. IR 3/4 air impact and 1/2 inch air impacts. Use of the cordless saves on the pulling hoses and I am able to use it away from the compressor. If you don't like those that is fine with

Actually, Ford 1 ton full floater rear axles are the same deal and many other larger trucks. The bearing pre load nuts can be LH threads or RH threads depending on rotation. Why cheap torque wrenches don't work for me as well. I need torque values in both directions.Left side had left-hand threads.
