Is it a Dana 80? They don't have a crush sleeve, but the pinion nut has a 470 ft/lbs torque spec . . .

That nut should be a self-locking nut, so it will turn hard till the lock threads are clear of the pinion shaft. PB Blaster won't hurt, but either a 3/4 inch impact, or a big breaker bar is what you need.

I'm sure there are other places selling it for less, but it still won't be a cheap tool.
Should i heat it up to get the nut off of it or could that cause any damage to anything near or around the pumpkin

Ok great and just so i am on the right path here that socket size i had on it yesterday was a 46mm with a 3/4 air impact is that the right size for that
And what would be stronger an electric impact or the air impact

I have a 55 gallon air tank cranked to the max psi and it still would not come off i was thinking to use my electric impact gun but my buddy that lives next door to me is telling me that the air impact would be the way to go because it has way more torque than an electric one

I believe that to be true, air is the way to go, Make sure you put some oil in the gun and use a big air line, those 3/4 guns need fat air lines, 3/8 wont cut it, ya need at least a 1/2" sorry for the bad news, you might as well blow threw a straw.
