Going the opposite direction is almost as bad.
Had a guy come in to my shop for a tire change on a 750 monster. Put my air gun on it (300 ft. pound rating), and it wouldn't budge. Sprayed some PB Blaster on it (good shit BTW), tried again, tried rocking it back and forth, nothing. Fucking thing was welded on. It took my biggest breaker bar, two guys, and a six foot piece of pipe to break the bastard loose.
The axle was toast, had to get a new one. Torque spec on the thing was like 67 lbs.
