are you leaving your car on the ground when you are tryin to break em loose. if not that could be your problem. if it is on the ground just position the stock tool so you can jump on it or stomp the chit out of it.
and most impact guns cant create more force that you will it's only that initial shock and vibration that sometimes is in your favor.

I just did this to change a spare on the Camary. I got pissed off and out of frustration I got on the tool and motionhopped on it and bam, done deal. I did the same when putting the lugs on

easy the guys at the tire shop was lazy and just hit it with a gun without threading it on by hand first. that or the possibility of hitting it with the gun with no torque stick or even just using a ft-lb torque wrench
