Makes a change... 
So these 2 bolts are stupidly tight, like bending a 3ft bar that takes hub nuts off tight!!
Anyway, I broke an extension and an adapter trying to get them lose. Eventually the socket started slipping so I tried hammering on smaller ones which eventually all slipped. Then used an Irwin bolt extractor which took any remaining lumps off and has just left it smooth now.
Neither bolt will move but I concentrated on just one so as not the f*ck them both up.
So what needs to happen here? Can't be cut off as the shank would still be stuck in the chassis. Only thing I can think is have a larger nut welded onto them and then try removing, but I don't have tools for that.
What do you reckon a garage would charge to remove them?
Shock is leaking badly so needs doing as soon as possible. Would've been such an easy job if they'd just made the hole in the boot big enough to fit a socket in. ?
