What is it with people and impact guns? A pipe on the handle would have been a much better idea for more leverage.
I bet if you really cleaned that socket good, put the joint in the freezer overnight before installation and used a little light oil during installation it would have been a lot easier. This is all in the archives.

Also they are not that hard to pound out. You would have spent your $7.00 better by having a shop press them in for you.
