It can be that bad tho S+B
Tbh its better to crack them off now - so next time it'll be a breeze

mk2 - took several days of hourly sessions to knock mine free

The mk2b - a gentle tap

Copper slip and torque it'll be good for next time you need them

i struggle with loads
i always use a spanner on the opposite end too
stopped using power tools as the nuts are made of candy
perseverance,quality tackle, a piece of old chair leg on the ratchet bar, duck oil and wire brushing of the threads gets them off


















































usually

The bolts are imo a little OTT on the price too!
