Don't waste money on renting an impact gun and compressor, buy the right
3/4" socket and bar and put a long pole on it.  That way the torque stays
under your control.  Also you will need to put it back on, and you need to
tighten it correctly again.  You have it ready for the next time, or if you
need the hubs off (rare for a later one with split drums but possible)
