snip...""3/4" ???   Es muy macho!!""

You want macho......I tried to use a 3/4" breaker bar and socket on my rear 
axle nuts.  I bent the breaker bar.  (craftsman brand)  

((Insert manly grunting sound here))

OK, not just me, me and a 5' long piece of 1" iron pipe.  After that, I used 
the pipe to bend it back.  I then learned to carefully cut off the old nuts 
and get new ones.  Maybe I'll get a 19mm socket for it and throw out the 
cracked lug wrench that was stock.
