I had the same issue as you, and used the above set up with the addition of my impact driver. A good few smacks with a hammer was enough to get things moving without breaking the socket.

Yes I am located in the US. That reminds me. I do have a hammer driven impact driver. I tried it a few times but what pretty hesitant to really hit it because I didn't want to knock the forks out of alignment or something.
