have a new golf mk4 1.8t, bought with cracked sump. managed to get all but 2 bolts out. its the ones that are flush with flywheel,   ive tried a UJ extension, quarter drives, cannot get them off! :( think i may have rounded one? is anyone willing to get them out for me and back in again on the new one,  so only 2 bolts in and out and ill give you £60 cash.   its on a pit in a garage, well lit.  ive tried my tools so suggest anyone willing to attempt brings there own tools, i need it for sunday tho so please only attempt if you have done on before.

any life savers out there?  based in nottingham just outside the city centre area in carlton. please let me know urgent thanks  much appreciated./

the end is round so it can be used on an angle, also if you turn the engine over by hand and look through the gbox holes there should be a flat spot on the flywheel to help with access to the bolts, hth, adi.

If the sump is cracked/trashed cant you break it up a little to get better access to the two bolts. Just watch out for oil pick up
