After I moved out in the sticks my city friends gave me an alias "redneck
Ralph" but I like to refer to cheater bars as "Torque Multiplier" to keep me
from falling into too many red neck ways

I suspect you'll just bend or break something. 3/4" is called for.

I use one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Neiko-**Tools-Chrome-Vanadium-Breaker/**dp/B000N54JPY<http://www.amazon.com/Neiko-Tools-Chrome-Vanadium-Breaker/dp/B000N54JPY>
, along with a 1 13/16" (46.04 mm) socket. (easier to find/cheaper than
a 46mm one).
