When I get a bit I'll use the air wrench. Between this and getting the axle nuts off, I have quite a bit of labor ahead of me.

Thanks for the help!
I found the M10 XZN MB # 601 589 00 10 00 HAZET #2751 tool available from my local dealership for about $17, that's with no discount! Which is at least $10-15 less expensive than anywhere else! Might take a couple days to get it though. Usually when removing these bolts I've found the best way is with enough extension/s to get the inpact wrench outside the wheel hub and a universal joint right after the tool to allow it to get a nice straight and square contact with the bolt head, but with the subframe completely out you might be able to get the impact and tool in from the top and get a good shot at the bolts from that angle.
