huge breaker, get some leaverage! you'll be surprised, and those air wrenches are usually poor in the Torque department, mine is only rated at like 60Nm whereas my air gun is 300Nm or something, pretty poor really but the crazy 600+ Nm are like £200

If there's a Harbor Freight Tools or Northern Tool near you, they'll have what you need. Here's an example:
