Yeah i managed to get one off without using a impact, it was a real pain though. Ended up having to get the impact for the second one though.

I understand that. But even if you are using an impact gun or if you lock some vise grips onto the rod those nuts still tend to be kinda stubborn. It doesn't hurt anything to hit it with some wd40.
