Your bolts should be 17mm not 18mm maybe that's why you have rounded two of them,

Haha 18mm. A 17 would prpbably do it. If not as Chuff said 16mm. Go 12 point.

It's suprisong how little you need to do them up to be tight. When you get a tprque wrench prpperly calibrated you realise.

Mistake never use it on tight bolts. Or ever if there is better to use.
