Rounded Bolt Heads ! - Page 3

I've got a similar problem with the rears on my car, the bottom bolt came off easy, impact wrench and deep socket, but the top where there is little to no room is badly rounded, is there room to get one of these bolt removers in there, I've tried a locking wrench and tried tapping that to start it moving but so far nothing is working.

Hi Martin.
There should be enough room to get a 13MM Irwins on and turn it with a ratchet ring spanner, or short socket, you can also purchase the shallow type.
