Good to hear
Woop Woop. Bolts are off. WITHOUT DRILLING! Woohoo.
I've been doing some research online for what alternatives I had and saw the Irwin Bolt extractor set - looked solid, but dubious based on the struggles of normal sockets just slipping.
I managed to source one socket locally just right for 16mm bolts, put it on the first and, hey presto, off it comes. I though it was a fluke until off the others came off just as easy!
If you don't know how they work, the socket clamps down as you turn, and as you turn more, it clamps further onto the socket. I cannot believe how easy it was - with just little ol'me.
Tools: 1 x Breaker Bar, 1 x Extension (about 2ft), one extractor socket 16mm.
Easy as.
