I've got a 550lbs Impact Wrench that did nothing... I've got a breaker bar with a 3/4" driver and a 4' extension that I could stand on (I'm not that heavy though), but nothing moved.

P.S. - I'm well aware of the reverse threads and not making that kind of oversight.

Wow! Might want to double the length of the pipe.

Recommended torque for F4 through F8 is 400-500 foot-pounds.
According to the manual a 150 lb man putting all his weight on the end of a 3 foot wrench equals 450 ftlbs.
So when I put all my weight on the end of my 4' pipe, I am torquing them at 1080 ftlbs. opps!

I just purchased an 8' long pipe and the lugs broke like gravy!
