Thats ok... I was hoping he didnt actually need one that big to take them off due to them being too tight... most guys i know that use breaker bars that big, forget that the longer the bar is the easier it is to overtighten the bolts - ah just another 1/4 turn and it'll be ok - SNAP...

It's sort of like getting your oil changed at the quick-lube... Yup, those oil pan bolts do have a torque spec... LOL
