Any thoughts?
Sounds to me like you need to make more friends.

The little 6mm studs that hold the cam box covers on are really easy to break off if you aren't careful. You could get creative with a breaker bar wedged against the floor but I think you are asking for trouble.

Have you considered ordering a pizza delivered and then paying the delivery guy/girl to hold the other breaker bar (for an extra tip)?
