Look on the bright side Pete - you got the strut pinch bolt out.
Despite a good clean up and soaking in penetrating oil, and using an impact gun and surface drive impact sockets mine refused to budge, eventually rounding off the bolt head.
Next step is to weld a bigger nut on and then I can get the 3/4" drive socket set out, which along with the 5ft scaffold bar should shift it.
Often welding the nut on frees the threads up as they expand a bit with the heat, but we'll see.
This is on Mrs Noc's 75, and this could be the first time it has been undone since coming off the production line.
Having had one front spring fail thought I'd change both and fit tyre protectors - every little helps.
