Rounded Allen bolt removal help please

[jamesc76]

There is a tool that tightens the more you grunt with it and it was on here recently.

The tool that Kev was on about are these, there brill I have given um loads of hell and all ways worked!

Tho there not really designed to work on round headed torx/allen type stuff (tho you can sometimes get um to work!)

[Mickyfin]

I did noticed in your other thread. Has anyone offered to come along and help?

Got a photo of the snapped bolts? The photo may help with members suggestions on which tool to use to extract them.

I havnt Micky I will try to get a pic on. the two bolts are on the steering knuckle/Hub the two bolts hold the Brake caliper in place, I have a few ideas but someone with a bit of engineering equipment would prob get them out in a jiffy, Hoping the welder along the road can help. thanks for the reply though. as for buying used part cant get the old one off either lol, just not got the tools.

Those Irwins really are the dog's danglies. Work beautifully. There's a tapering reverse spiral inside 'em, so as you grunt harder to undo, they not only bite in harder, but pull themselves further on.

Have a look on fleaBay - there's two different sets of five, and you really do need both. I think I paid about £35 for both. Got my out of trouble several times so far with those horrible chocolate-cheese crossbreed bolts that are all over this thing.
