    THIS IS CORRECT.

    One time i had this problem on my hatch. I have a Ingersoll Rand Titanium impact and it has some serious torque to take stuff loose and such. I had to turn the line pressure up on the compressor all they way up to 125psi and it broke it loose then. Try bumping the line pressure up on the air compressor if you can find one.
