Removal of front struts

Not spinning, not moving, have the impact in reverse. God I hope I am not going in the wrong direction. Driving me freakin crazy. Have not tried a breaker bar, to afraid I would strip it out. I am not going to let this damn thing whip my ***!!!

That sucker is on there tight! I don't remember having that much trouble. If the impact isn't getting anywhere then you can try the breaker bar, sometimes constant torque is better than the hammer.
