Billy Rover.---I do truly feel very sorry for you in your predicament.

My two bolts put up a bit of a fight I wasn't go to take NO for an answer and they finally gave in.

I was only doing the side that had the damage rubber insert but I had bought both sides just in case.---The other side was OK. However while I was under the car I loosened and tightened the other two bolts for when I might need to remove them.--They were easier than the first two.---

As I said in a previous post I used leg power on the tube I had over the good quality ring spanner.--Nothing bent or broke. After reading all of the other posts on this thread I guess I must have been lucky.---

They probably would respond to an impact wrench as a shock quite often undoes really tight nuts and bolts but these difficult so and so's are difficult just get at them.
