broken bar
I am trying to undo the rear 36mm hub nuts but they won't shift.
My breaker bar is now a broken bar.
Anyone got any good tricks to move them?

By the looks of the breaker bar it was a 1/2 drive.
If it was first up go and get a 3/4 drive bar and socket this will work better.

I thought a breaker bar was solid, not swivel?
Like the others said, get a 3/4" drive, and a length of steel you can slip over the handle, that's how I do it.

You can get an axle nut removal tool for about $15 which you place over the nut and persuade it to come loose with a large hammer or sledge. I got one
off ebay for $12 I think - there's a guy making them.
Some say that you can damage the torsion bars with this tool but the dude on the Bug Me Video series doesn't seem to have any problems with them.
That said I only plan to use mine for repairs on the road (where I don't carry a cheater bar and angle iron).
