I've taken off 4 axle nuts in my experience and never have I used an impact gun, just a ratchet with a breaker bar. I broke the ratchet on the last one I did, but I just took it back to sears and was back at it in 10 minutes.

If you jack up the car and then loosen them, you might need an impact gun. If you're smart, you'll loosen the lugs and shaft nut before the tires leave the ground.

first time I did it wheels were on the ground and I used my 1/2" torque wrench because it has a long handle, second time I did it one side my friend pressed the brakes, other side I pressed the brakes, we were using my 1/2" crafstmen ratchet and a 5 foot breaker bar, my friend just jumped on the bar until the ratchet broke.

lol... I usually pull the axle shafts instead of just undoing the lower bj... They get in the way and if youre trying to bench press the tranny back into the car and they become an annoyance itll piss you off. Youll prolly break a breaker bar or a ratchet sooner or later trying to get off axle nuts

thats an insane amount of work just to change the clutch. you do it how u do it and ill do it how i do it. as long as the job gets done. but i personally would have just dropped the tranny ;D
