Was it me?  :grin:

I've got a set of Snap-On removers, works everytime. Although you get the shiney silver (I assume they are steel/stainless steel?) and they are extremely tough metal, I always place an old extension backwards on the nut and hammer it hard to sqaush it a little bit.


My locker went AWOL (they came with the car) and I simply hammered the extension, got a punch and turned it with a hammer. No damage to the alloy either.  :cool:

chicken paste works at a push but has been known to cause severe rodent problems later down the line

Dogs will lick peanut butter off of anything.

Especially my nuts.

The shiny silver bit will be chromium alloy! :rolleyes:
