I had to buy a 36" long, 1" format breaker bar with a 18mm triple square bit to get that bolt set right... INSANE. I had to stand on the bar and bounce to set it.
Took a month just to order the tools.

I'm 99.9% sure I'll never need that again. Even the hub bolts on my Rover were 202ft-lbs - no extra twist..
