Okay. Well I ordered and received a breaker bar however I did not think about what I was ordering before I ordered it. I had been able to crank the engine with difficulty using my girlfriend's late husband's ratchet bar. It was hard work with the short length of the bar but do able. The breaker bar is longer at 750mm, however, there is no ratchet!! I wasn't expecting that and with very little space down by the crank pulley, one has to continually remove the socket and reposition again. So, another question to ask. Is there such a thing as a breaker bar with a ratchet facility built in? around the 750mm length mark and made of Chrome Vanadium?
No, not that I have ever seen purely because the ratchet would be a weak point and more than likely break under the pressure one can exert.
