You can also get an adapter to allow using your 1/2 inch breaker bar with a 3/4 inch drive socket. In any case, you will probably need a four foot pipe to extend the length of your breaker bar handle and get the mechanical advantage to go over 200 ft/lbs of torque. If you find a picture of the VW special tool for this purpose, you will find that it is a socket at the end of a long pipe.
