Spindle nut

Spindle nut
I have tried removing the spindle nut on my 2009 LT but it won't budge. I have heated it with MAP gas, applied a lot of penetrating oil and let it soak but no luck. Using a breaker bar and extension pipe doesn't help. I have heard that using impact wrenches isn't a good idea for this although I've seen mechanics do just that. I do have an impact wrench that is a 12v electric type that is a bit different than the usual impact wrenches. It builds up momentum and then releases one sharp blow to do the job. I am wondering if using this impact wrench might round off the nut or damage the axle or CV.

I suggest you order a new nut.
Hub axle nut - for FE1 and FE3 only - Use GM PN10289657 - NOTE: GM specifies they must be replaced, and not reused.
