That's all my dad would do.   He used a half inch snap-on breaker bar 
with cheater pipe over it.   Same with pulling them off.  I did find the 
breaker bar out in the shop, still in one piece.    Amazing after all 
the stuff he put it through.   I'm afraid of breaking it but I did use 
it to do the balancer bolt on a mazda 3 MZR/Duratec engine, tighten to 
75 ft lbs, then go 90 more degrees.   The torque wrench was clicking at 
250 ft lbs.
