Interesting idea... Keep in mind - I only have hand tools. How much force before they break?

Re: Front Bumper Bolt removal

I have a 24" breaker bar that works nicely. If you try to loosen them, they will spin and round off the shoulder and you will be swearing in no time. They will break easier than you think.
