If anyone wants to bank transfer 380 quid to me I'll order one today!
It does seem a trifle extravagant for a single use application though, so it's probably gonna be a trip to the hire shop when it opens agin.
If you have a Harbor Fright equivalent in the UK, I'd check for an impact wrench there - the one linked is top of the line, great for people that earn a living with a tool, but overpriced for single use (as you agree....) OTOH, I find that the HF tools are on the crappy side, and may not be good for more than a few uses, but often are low priced enough to be comparable to a rental, and you get to keep the pieces...
In all probability a crappy HF impact wrench will do as much (or as little) good as the fancy one, and not hurt the wallet as much...
I'd try GOOD penetrating oil like PB-Blaster or Kroil just on general principles... Also it might work to undo that nut in the center and pull the entire wheel and hub assembly off - that gets it away from the motors, so you can then apply more serious forces...
Good luck...
