I’ve got some rather stubborn bolts which have resisted my 1/2" impact tool, 1/2" breaker bar, liquid wrench, and flame. I’d rather not drill these out, so I bought a 3/4" drive impact wrench from HF (gasp!) but I can’t find a 21mm impact socket in 3/4" drive anywhere other than online. I’d like to break (but not snap) these loose today, if possible.
Anyone know if we have one of these in the tool cabinet, or, where I might buy one on a Sunday?
And, yes, there is “too much cheater bar”. 
Northern Tool in Plano, Garland, and Bedford claim to have them for $15.00. The Lewisville one claims not to.

Just buy a more universal 3/4" to 1/2" impact drive adapter - preferably a good one that won’t break - that way you are not limited to the “one” 3/4" drive socket…
Or…I can meet you at the space with my Ingersol air impact and my Snap on 21mm socket (or any other size you may need) and hope that the choked compressed air system at the space will provide enough air in both volume and pressure to get the fastener loose.
Thank you all for the help! I got it with a cheap 21mm closed end wrench and a long piece of 2" square tube.
The truck rolls much better with new front hub/bearings.
I need to them on my truck soon/eventually - I’ll do that as a scheduled automotive class when the time comes
Lol. I have access to a 3/4" socket set. However there is a reason I don’t carry it on my van. My biggest end wrench on my van is an 1 5/8".
I’ve done them on both the old truck and new. I feel like a practiced hand at it.
The most interesting procedure was pushing the front wheel bearings out of the Celica’s steering knuckle, as it is not a hub assembly. Lots of heat, lube, and a 20 ton press were required. I was concerned I wasn’t going it pull that one off…
Dang. Was it formerly in the rust belt? I’ve never had to work that hard (never used heat or lube–20 ton press, yes) on one of those, but I’ve always had the luxury of working on cars from southern locales…
If you run across a euro car that has replaceable bearings (usually before 2000 +/- ) I have the tool to do them on the car
My truck is from the rust belt and will be an exercise in patience getting some of the hardware off.
The most “entertaining” wheel bearings of recent memory are the rear ones on a 1980’s Subaru Brat (ugh)
2000 Celica GT, and fairly clean as it only lives in TX. However, after something like 210,000 miles, I guess they’d gotten comfy in there. Vehicle now has 257k miles on it and is my daily driver. 1st owner since new.
