Why did my inside dual tire blow out the sidewall?

If you have a manual torque reducer to initially loosen and final tightening, wouldn't a regular impact work as it is just spinning off the nuts?

Yes.

But even that's not necessary. They make a double ended lug nut wrench which you can insert a hex bar. Once the nuts are loosened, you an use this basically like a star wrench to spin the nuts off or on.

They have these cordless 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches now that will remove the lug nuts amazing the power of those

I love my 12:1 torque multiplier. I can remove and re-torque lug nuts on the bus with a 1/2" drive torque wrench and never break a sweat. Placing the rims over the lug nuts and getting them to line up and slide on is still a chore  Do they make a tool for that?

You don't need the 1 inch impact, the new models of the 1/2 impact wrench have plenty of torque  to remove a wheel and do it with less CFM of air I have a I/R 1/2 drive that makes short work of removing lug nuts

I have a Makita 3/4" cordless impact with 1,250 ft lbs.  It will not budge my lug nuts one bit.

That is strange my Dewalt with 700 ft lbs will remove a lug nut or you sure your is in ft lbs or inches ?

Very cool that new cordless impacts can do the job. I've seen the performance figures and it seems more than enough to bust the nuts loose. What models are working?

Yes. It's called a tire spoon. Get the long handled one.

yes, two shovel handles...one at 5 and one at 7. you can lift 6 inches and work/rotate till the cows come home.

Once the nut is loose, any cordless drill should be able to spin the nuts off - if not , the threads are damaged & need to be replaced.

This works great for lining up wheels on studs. https://www.amazon.com/Esco-ESC70130-Truck-Wheel-Dolly/dp/B0049GB9P6/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1506652135&sr=1-1&keywords=truck+wheel+dolly

On steel wheels I use a bar in the hand holes against the top of the drum and pop it on,the aluminum  wheels I use 2 tire bars on the bottom on each side of the tire and slide it on drive axles are easy once on the hub
