I have a breaker bar (somewhere) like the one in the picture. The part that is in the center of the picture actually slides. If I found it and used it I could add pipe or tubing on each side.

I got the Bolts out with my shortened tool and a pile on the Breaker Bar to give me more leverage. The shortened tool did not tip.

However installation is going to be different because the head bolts go through the Camshaft Towers and I think I need to get above the towers. Hence the real tool is 144 mm long.
