Thanks Rick, Sounds like a similar concern to having the extension shaft come out of alignment.
Still a tough choice between the lesser of two evils. No reaction bar, down in the hole to avoid drive extensions. Or use extensions to get the assembly out of the hole and allow using a reaction bar. I think I can control the alignment of the extension shaft better than the force being applied to the bilge sump without a reaction bar.

Increased deflections, caused by the added length could force the socket off the nut, or break the extension or socket. Some other sites state to use a single or double sided reaction bar if you have to use an extension on the output.

I wish the multiplier had expounded on their "do not use extensions" warning. Josh _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
