Cragrat Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Plus gas is much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 If they are so tight the bolt heads rounded off, try hammering a smaller socket onto bolt head. This is where it can be handy to have old imperial size sockets some of which are in between metric sizes. On my sister’s 2004 fiesta I had to do this when changing her discs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke4efc Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 6 point sockets instead of 12 point. Helps stop you rounding them off in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkEli Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 When I was replacing the brake discs and pads I used one of these on the bolts as they had rounded badly. I got these from Screwfix and the socket worked perfectly. I used a hammer to make sure it wouldn't slip off and as you apply more pressure, to loosen the bolt, the sides of the socket dig into the the bolt and allows it to be removed. Make sure you buy replacement bolts. https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-bolt-nut-remover-set-6-pcs/6083D?tc=QT7&ds_kid=92700055262507123&ds_rl=1244066&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjer4BRCZARIsABK4QeX9ckCd_O75ki4-CBsua5X8I9eKaSabsMo2BvPS8RB3srA77JS-HjgaAhUXEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
