I can't locate a 6 point socket locally.  Sears has 12 point. Is it totally useless
to buy a 12 point? How likely am I to damage a rented 3/4 drive handle? Thanks,
Peter.

The 2 1/8 th 12 point is OK for the flywheel nut. It was the front pulley screw
that I broke a Sears 19 mm 12 point on. You will have no problem with a
3/4 breaker bar. A 1/2 breaker bar is marginal.
