Hi all
Just wanting to ask those of you experienced out there, about how to release a very tight torx bolt, as shown in the photo.
This is not an A2 (thankfully!). It is an impossibly tight T45 bolt in an alloy head of a mini r56. I sheared 2xt45 bits, and then purchased (at great cost) a Snap-on heavy duty bit, which did not fail, but essentially stripped the bolt.
I don't have access to welding equipment, and alas, you basically have to take the whole front of the car off to get to this bolt, so taking it to a garage will not be feasible (unless I pay them for the work).
If anyone has any gem ideas, i would be verrrrry happy to hear them.
Cheers
Matt
