I don't have any 3/4 inch sockets for the same reason. Any fastener requiring that big a socket or that much torque is for someone else. Kind of like going rabbit hunting with a Bradley fighting vehicle. This thing scares the Hell out of me. I don’t have any 3/4 inch sockets for the same reason.

Googling resulted in this page, which talks about them: http://www.vannattabros.com/saw48.html I've previously seen other stuff on this guy's site - it's pretty great.

To break it loose, I put a 3ft pipe on the end of the breaker bar and bounced on it. After cranking it off 1in of thread, the nut was warm, almost to the point of being hot.
