    You could do it the mechanical way and buy another socket, weld it to a 4-5 foot piece of angle iron or other sturdy piece of metal and use it as a larger breaker bar. The amount of force needed to break the xxx ft-lb of torque will be easy since Work=Force x Distance

    Ciao,

    I bought the Hill socket from Ricambi and a five foot 1" breaker bar.

    The socket makes it much easier and you will not mare the nut.
