Unhappy

You Defo gotta give those
Puppies a soak in wd40, not just a squirt and hope if frees an hr later. If bolts look badly rusted I start soaking them 48hrs before I attempt to remove.
U need to rig up a breaker bar, I have used a steel pipe slipped over the end of the socket wrench (removed cushion grip first).
Prob with small wrenches is u begin to twist the sOcket up and Off the bolt head the harder you try which is why u round off the top of the bolt head.
If all else fails I smack a smaller socket onto the head but u risk breaking the head off as I found out the weekend!

Just to add to your woes when they come off u gonna need new bolts!

U got a blow torch ? If so get some head on the hub.

Sorry m8 wish u were closer to help :-(
