Tried hitting it with heat. Tried my bolt remover socket but as yous will know its tight for space even with a socket.
No joy.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Do that for a week and have another go, more of the same and hope it works...... drilling those out would be a nightmare.

Got at it with WD40 for 2 weeks. Maybe need something better? I don't think drilling out would work at all. Really struggling for ideas.
