Question 300ft lbs. good enough???

I bought an impact wrench for removing my flywheel. It's rated at 300ft lbs. I wanted to know what you think?
So you think it'l work?
Starting on it on Monday, hopefully if I get info in time so I don't go and mess up a brand new impact wrench.

Thanks!

You could break it loose with one hell of a breaker bar, then tighten it later with the impact. I personally didn't torque it to factory specs, 300ft-lbs should be ok.
