Teng tools sell tiny slugging wrenches, but I'm not sure if one can fit on a driveshaft bolt. Have you tried using a driveline socket?

I haven't seen any slugging wrenches that small. Not the right way to do it but we just beat on wrenches when you get down to that size or build a big cheater wrench in those sizes.

This. I've never seen slugging/striking wrenches in such sizes either. I suspect at those small sizes, it's not a situation of overt torque/seized surface area of thread, so I would think getting a decent used set of forged box end wrenches to beat on would work.

I have to absolutely make a 3/4 wrench cry with a 2.5lb sledge when doing a particular job.
Ive found the longer/thinner the wrench, the more it flexes and absorbs energy.
Shorter/thicker works better for this abusive application.

I've been there. The previous posteres already said what I would. Heavy beam short wrench and a good sized dead blow, wrench might bend some but the bolt should come free.

I've never heard of a slugging wrench and now I want them :cool:
I only have a couple. I use one for stuck O2 sensors. Heat the bung up put the wrench on, and slug away. Usually just a two or three hits starts it moving, then it's the usual penetrating fluid and back and forth to get them the rest of the way out.

And on Amazon they call it a slogging wrench? Typo or is that another name for that type of wrench?

Yes I was in the oilfield and used hammer wrenches plenty! Did laugh a bit when I went to the UK and they called them flogging wrenches.

This is the one I use for O2 sensors. It's 12 sided, so is more flexible as far as rotational placement, and it's relatively short, which makes it easier to get around obstructions. Most importantly, it's made in Germany, so allows for precision strikes!
