When on your back under the car, it's really difficult to employ your strength effectively.

A nice length (24-36") of black iron pipe over the breaker bar makes stuff much easier. :-)

Sometimes I'll place the floor jack, so it can keep one of the wrenches from spinning, this way you can put two hands on the breaker bar.

These tricks have made made my 240 from Boston much easier to work on!
