Mole grips and a hammer worked last time I had to get them out. Not a lot of room in there but theres enough. Alternatively try something like http://www.tradetools.co/route=product/product&product_id=3010 as these are really handy bits of kit to have anyway.

That tools in that link are the same as irwin extractors. They work a treat.

we soaked in wd40, smacked with hammer to try shock the bolts, managed to get one out, the other 3 are proper stubborn and looks like we might have to get some heat on them :(

are they rounded off yet or just tight

They just tight ATM, one is almost Rounded, think might have to try gas or they freeze and release stuff

try a decent bar on em , you are using a hex socket and not a allen key right?   youd never get enough leverage on a allen key

You would have been better trying a manual impact driver on them, rather than a round-o-matic impact gun.

Have you got any slightly bigger Torx or 12-spline bits about you could welt into the heads?  Good chance they'll sort it.

Hammer a 12mm socket over the top. Never fails
