Impact driver vs impact wrench

People,
MTD rider, bought a new spindle, and need to remove the pulley and put on the new one. I have an impact wrench with socket and wondering if anyone here ever had luck doing this as opposed to using an impact (air powered) wrench.

Thanks, people.
 
with old spindle still on the deck with the blade mounted block the blade and use a pull bar to loosen the nut. Note this nut need to be torqued to 90 ft/lbs on the new spindle as well the blade nut to the same torque spec.

I don't think hammer type impact driver will work; unless you can solidly block any spindle shaft movement.
 
I was thinking more in the line of the ones that you hold and smack with a hammer ie the manual version. Never really had any luck with the one I tried out years ago.
 
Got the new spindle, and the length of the shaft is longer than my original one. Yet, on the site from the supplier the # matches the MTD #. Should I complain to the seller? Could this still work? I fear the different length will elevate the pulley higher, and the belt will not work right, or even spin/fall off the track.
