That's kinda what I've seen Andrew at 2Bennett use.  He's got a notched 
out piece of pipe, looks like like a piece of chain link fence pole, and 
a long bar welded to it.  You put the socket on the crank bolt first, then 
the creation goes over it, and the extension goes through the creation 
into the socket.
