then you should probably find a stronger and longer pipe, one that won't bend as easily (careful, as you're ratchet might shear right off from too much torque). I've sheared off a ratchet at the wrecker yard trying to get rusted lug nuts off and used a 2' pipe and put all my weight to it..
either that or you can borrow a breaker bar from someone you know.. make sure you're putting WD40 or some lubricant and heat it up with a torch.. just avoid heating up the strut cylinder. it helps.
