Will this MILWAUKEE CORDLESS V28 1/2" IMPACT WRENCH #0779-22, 325lb torque loosen the crank bolt on the GS400? Will this be enough torque to loosen? I need to know since i'm planning to do my timing belt.

It should be, but only problem is fitting the gun in there. Fitment is usually pretty tight and you might have to remove the radiator fans just to fit the gun. I just use my trusty ol' breaker bar with a 5 foot extension

Example in the picture below

Good luck, getting the crank bolt off on the Supra was an insane task. I snapped a 1/2 Craftsman breaker bar and split 2 sockets open. Tried a 1000 ft/lb Ingersoll impact and it did nothing, also tried the wedge the bar and crank the car method to no avail. It sucked bad, in the end it was alot of heat to the bolt and 3/4" breaker and sockets that did it with a 4ft helper bar and 3 big guys working the bar. I'm going to have to do it all again when I put the lightened/dampened pully on their for the GS swap. I hope it goes alot smoother.

I have an cordless ingersoll cordless impact that took out my crank bolt pulley. It does 350ftlbs.

Use WD-40 and lots of it. It really helps a lot when I did it.

You can buy it at any autoparts/hardware store. Ever heard of Liquid Wrench? It's the same thing. You spray it on nuts/bolts that have sat up for a long time and let it soak in good. I used it to to get some of my exhaust manifold bolts off the Supra since they were abit rusty looking and went through all that heat cycling (l let it soak overnight spraying them a couple times) and they came off with ease.
