Yoikes! You're lucky the ratchet didn't bust. I've had that happen, and
it usually results in personal injury :-(
Is the nut that was behind the chrome doodad still hexagonal? Can you get
a socket on it? It might be metric, now that the chrome is off.
I have used the "jump-on-cheater-bar" method quite a few times, and it has
worked. "George just lucky I guess"
