The only tool I have that works on really tight balancer bolts is the top air impact wrench that harbor freight sells. When I had to get the Jesus bolt off my old 740iL, I tried cheater pipes, lesser air impact wrenches, and electric impact wrenches. None would do it. Finally got it with the good air impact wrench. Can’t remember the model number, but I used a top quality impact socket as well.
i've got a 40 in breaker with 3/4 drive (largest i could find on amazon) coming today, so i will give that a try once it arrives. even with a 40 in lever, i wouldn't expect to be able to match the torque from my current battery impact wrench.

i spoke to a mechanic that works at a shop that does dod deletes. he said they would always use the big air impact wrenches at his shop for balancer bolts. if i can't make any headway with the new breaker, i'll go this route.
