I was just being a smart donkey....
Exactly what I did!I would think one of these with a 12-in extension and a tiny bit of shim stock to make it tight would do the job
Worked!
Interesting point of view here.The OP already knows the answer to his question and has a history of asking odd questions/making ludicrous statements to stir up trouble hence the challenges from other members.
Can't tell us what the application is?
Has previously stated SNAP-ON should be the only option (but can't locate the tool himself)?
But has plenty of time to question perfectly reasonable suggestions like the VIM breaker bar?
He now has you questioning the validity of breaker bars altogether?
It's nonsense
1) Perhaps there is a tool out there I have not seen. I have not experienced ever tool in the world.
2) I said what the application is. Not sure how you can think that I can’t say what the application is when I clearly said it. I refrained from talking about the application in the beginning because it doesn’t really matter when I’m looking for a specific tool irrespective of application. Not that I can’t say what it is.
3) Just because it makes no sense to buy from HF when snap on is available doesn’t mean snap on is the only option. Mac and Cornwell are great too, in my opinion. Although snap on is my first choice. First choice is not synonymous with only option. That’s quite a leap on your part.
4) The VIM breaker bar is not a “perfectly reasonable” in fact it wouldn’t have even worked at all. Too bulky.
It’s all nonsense? Well, everything you just said here is nonsense. Did you even read anything in this thread at all?

I still want to know how you're going to get the nut back on?
They are 6 sided nuts on studs, so I used a 12 point socket. I had good enough swing with the breaker bar, even though clearance was low, to where I was able to put some grease on the nut then put the nut into the socket (so it doesn’t fall out) and get nut started that way. Since there was no slop in the adapter to extension interface, there was virtually no slop in threading and tightening the nut. A little tedious, but better than taking everything apart, and once I got going it was a piece of cake.

Anything that would have worked would have violated that.
Thats how it goes when the tool that was sought after does not exist.
