it is (very) hard to impossible to

Hello!

"it is hard to impossible to do something"
"it is very hard to impossible to do something"

I haven't been able to find it in any dictionary.

Does it mean something like: "It's almost impossible to do something"?

Could it be replaced with: "it is from hard to impossible to do something"?

Thanks in advance!

Yes If there was a scale of the difficulty in which to do something, that particular thing would be in the range "very hard to impossible", meaning it's almost impossible.

Yes, but that's less idiomatic to my ear.
