Moved to technical.

Start with the simple suggestions. Make sure you have the correct size socket and a breaker bar. After that - heat.

six sided socket. A breaker bar is all you should need. helps if you can steady the block with your leg or someone else to hold it.

eat some weetabix?

[nev_payne]

unless its the pic quality, looks like youve already slightly rounded off 2

[Matt_20]

Yer yer, maybe i slightly rounded two off!

Hmm..weetabix sounds good too.

But first, off to buy some six sided sockets rather than my old ones, thank you muchly!

Bolts undo anticlockwise

Use a 5/8" AF socket and a breaker bar.

Make sure you are not trying to use metric sockets !

Put the block on it's side so you are useing your weight to help undo the bolt.
