I'm with you on this. I recently did a brake job on my Benz. Had it at a tire shop to put new rubber on it. The maroon must have set the pressure to beyond infinity. I not only used my 18 inch breaker bar but a 2 ft pipe extention to loosen the lug nuts. OMG, I thought they would never break free.

I use PB blaster on all underbody fasteners. Heat works too.

I had to use my breaker bar to loosen the caliper bolts on my 944. My impact wrench didn't work. I also use impact sockets. As others have said, Porsche fasteners are better than most.
