'flabbergast you' is the definition.
'stun' can be an answer for 'flabbergast' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'you' bit.

'cracked back' is the wordplay.
'cracked' becomes 'nuts' (synonyms).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'nuts' backwards is 'STUN'.

'will' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stun that I've seen before include "Confound" , "Dumbfound" , "Surprise greatly or daze" , "Daze with nuts" , "Render insensitive" .)
