Probably obvious question: Have you applied a good penetrating oil (like Liquid Wrench)?
That has saved my behind with rusted bolts on more than one occasion.

Hi (another very off topic),

Wheel bolts on my VW are seized pretty hard.  Standing on 24in breaker
bar doesn't help, and that's 300ft-lb torque.  So, I'm thinking about
getting an impact wrench.  Those with greater than 300ft-lb are very
expensive.  I found one with 250ft-lb spec at my price range.

Question is, is there difference between static torque vs impact torque?
  In other words, will 250ft-lb impact wrench loosen 300ft-lb bolt?

Browsing YouTube, I learned that torque specs are always misleading and
inflated.  This means, I have to find 600ft-lb or greater, and that's
serious money.
