Time to change timing belt

Anyone know how much of a ft lb torque air gun I'll need to get the crank bolt off? I'm looking at a snapon 450ft lb electric impact and I'm wondering if it will be enough.

it doesn't take a lot of torque to remove the crank bolts

That should work or the breaker bar jack stand trick works too

I used my well worn 1/2 inch airgun. It didn't struggle at all.

The bolt isnt the hard part, sometimes the pulley gets stuck on there. now thats a b*tch, but if you have a puller set you shouldnt have a problem.
