Seat bolts: need helping identifying head type

[sh0rtlife]

as mentioned you file it then BASH a socket on there and never expect to get the socket off again..tho i have tricks for that...


what you need to hold the extractor is not a drill..NOOOOooooo not a drill

theres 2 tools made for that, tho in this situation i reccomend neither...and to use a very tight fitting cresent wrench

anyway the 2 tools ment for holding that are the same 2 tools used in a tap n die set

With the extractor embedded deeply into the head of the bolt, nothing is even coming close to being able to grasp the tiny body to exert any twisting force.

I tried an open ended crescent wrench, it was woefully inadequate. A conventional socket doesn't fit over the extractor, so my only choice now is to find a deep socket that might reach. My existing deep socket is only 2" long, which is too short unfortunately.
