I did the exact same thing on the motor job on my truck. All I had in a 19mm was a 3/8 drive so I put an adapter on my breaker bar and a pipe on that and SNAP! Craftsman did replace it. I also broke a 3/8 drive ratchet which was also replaced.
I ended up buying a 1/2" drive socket and I had no more issues. My breaker bar is a Snap-On. You should never use your torque wrenck as a breaker bar. It's for tourquing only. Like Zacman and Bitter said, Liquid Wrench and the right tool for the right job makes all the difference. -------------------- "Alcohol.
