Yes, I was very patient, but I am sure this is because I had the wrong tool for the job. The trouble is that a couple of bolts only have about 1" between them and the bodywork. This means that you cannot get a socket set on them.
A normal e8 torx spanner only has 6 points to it so each point is 60 degrees apart. Had I had a ratchet spanner then it might only need 5 degrees of motion before any movement occurs. I would have thought 20mins to 30mins max with the right tool.
