front bumper wont come off

[nando]

a breaker bar is a pipe that you slide onto the handle of a wrench so that you can get more leverage.

a pipe is not a breaker bar; these are all breaker bars:

it's only purpose is to break bolts free (thus the name). it's basically the opposite of a torque wrench (which should never be used to loosen bolts!).

putting a pipe on the end of a wrench (or breaker bar) is usually referred to as a "cheater pipe". at least you got the description of how it works right!

remember, lefty loosy righty tighty. some people should not work on their own cars....
