i think the sockets are long enough but may nip out and see if i can pick up a couple of longer ones. from what i have tried though i think the one on the passenger side may be a bit rounded as when i get a grip on the bolt and start to turn it it just jumps off. think i may have to remove the airbox though just to give myself a little more room. and impact driver i dont have at the moment.

Before you go out and get some, look with a torch into the recess and see if just the end is rounded or the whole bolt, if its completely rounded you have a couple of options... i dont think you can get a nut cracker in there, you could have someone melt it off or get a long socket, maybe 12mm or 11mm, hammer it onto the bolt until it locks then try turning again.... Those bolts are a pain in the ass... ive had issues where the plate on the other side of the bolt snapped and the whole thing just spun.... nightmare...

Haha! You're just waiting for the day I actually say that lol :lol:



Those bolts are a right pain in the backside though, like I said earlier my bolts snapped on me trying to get them undone, really rusted and stubborn. I think your best best would be to hammer a 12mm socket on there as Mac said
