I've used cheater bars and put some serious tourqe to them, way more than I'm sure your supposed to, and never had a problem.
I have a great set of wrenches, but I am finding that the 12 points are not "quite" the best. They are craftsman. But after dealing with the idler pulley bolt, I discovered that a 6 point is probably much better. I have 6 points sockets, but obviously they didnt fit the situation.

What kind of maint should be done on a compressor to insure good life and operation?
