Please let me know if you figure out how to remove it with a "regular" length breaker bar!

The last one I did broke three special tools.
I used an oxygen acetylene torch, bringing the plug/block near cherry, 3/4 inch breaker with an eight foot cheater pipe attached to a chain fall, lifting a 300D two inches off the floor, jumped (250 LB) on the front bumper, then the plug moved (dropping the car).

This job is very high on the PIA scale!!!
