I second this. in fact I think the longer the better for breaker bars. light pressure on a very long lever is much less likely to break off bolts than pounding on a short lever. if its not easy with an 18" bar slide a 3 foot long pipe over it. Just pull lightly on it though.

once its out put a little anti-seize on the threads of the new one.
Good luck.
