Too bad you don't live near me I'd let you borrow mine. 600+ ft lbs of torque takes the bolt right out even if it has loctite on it.

They make electric impacts that'll knock out around 450 lb.ft. of torque... but they be a bit pricey.
I picked up a manual transfer pump from Tractor Supply that resembles a gas pump handle. It worked great draining the tank on our Suburban when I had to change the fuel pump and only cost around $20.
Well darn I guess I'll just drop the tank then since there are no tractor supply places within a hour of here.
Ok - here is basically what it is. Just can't find it on the Tractor Supply site and the price on this one seems high to me. Flo ’N Go Maxflo Siphon and Pump — With 60In. Hose, Model# 06799 | Fuel Nozzles| Northern Tool + Equipment
Mine is more basic than what I linked -- no one-way valve thingy or short extension. It just has the pump handle and a hose and cost less. You stick the hose in the tank, pump the handle to start the flow, and then hold the handle to keep it flowing. Pretty slick unit.
My brother in law rigged up a electric fuel pump, ran some leads to hook up to a battery and two hoses. That thing works great
Selling my pewter ws6 to buy a pewter hawk. In prep of this, I removed the short stick & replaced with stock. After having the short stick for years, it felt pretty good to use the stock shifter again. I'm gonna miss that ws6 hood, but the iroc spoiler sure will ease the pain.
Welp, that was a bust. Suppose I shouldn't have had high hopes for an HFT power tool to actually be powerful, haha. Rated at 240 ft lbs it couldn't break the crank bolt loose and just started to turn the pulley instead after a few seconds. Will probably take it back this afternoon. Lowes has a Kobalt version rated to 350 ft lbs. Might give that one a try. I should have done this before tearing it down to the shortblock. Probably would have made my life so much easier than messing with ratchets.
Damn I wish I saw your post before you bought it otherwise I would have said that my 250 ft lb air impact couldn't break the bolt loose which is why I bought the one I have now. I would think the 350 ft lb one would be able to. I use mine on a lot of things that I can to take bolt out but never to put them in.
It's no biggie since I can get a full refund. At least I got a decent deal on an impact socket set while I was there and it's close to my house. One of the Kobalt reviewers said he used it for a crank bolt and it worked great and other said it takes off axle nuts with no issue as well, so it should work well for my purposes. That was my plan as well, removal only except maybe to install some of the larger things like the torque arm bolts on the rear housing.
