I will try with the impact gun again 2mz but i tried it a goodfew times today and that thing is not moving at all! Will i need to get an air gun with a compressir rather then a rechargeable one?

i have managed it with a makita battery one. but a mains or air powered one will breeze through it

If the car can drive just go to a workshop and have them loosen it.
I once had a nice problem with a gearbox plug that did not want to get loose.
This was with another car though.
I drained the gearbox put the plug back and wanted to loosen the filler plug!
I broke a Gedore power bar on it!! Ended up driving to a workshop without oil in the box, at least they did get it loose :)

Put the breaker bar on the bolt with the bar facing towards the front of the car, the end needs to be at least 3 inches of the ground. Take the king lead off the coilpack or remove the am2 fuse, or both. Using your foot to keep the socket on the bolt, get someone to start the car with the ignition, this will make the breaker bar spin round, hit the ground and turn the bolt the direction it needs to loosen while the engine continues going round.
