Hey Patrick:
I spent the thirty bucks on a 1 13/16's impact socket for the very same
job, but used an air impact wrench to do the job instead of a breaker
bar.. Worked like a champ. If you have a compressor you're welcome to
borrow them for a couple of hours. I suspect that trying to torque that
big bugger off by hand would be quite a task.
regards,
John
