removing bolt with impact wrench

I just tried to check the fluid level in the parking brake assembly on my 2000 F53 frame Holiday Rambler and could not break the bolt loose with my sockets. It is either frozen on there or I have become too old and feeble (my wife's explanation). Can I try my electric impact wrench on this or do I run the risk of shearing off the bolt head? Seems like such a samll thing to ask on here, but having suffered the consequences of my actions over the years, thought it prudent.
