vice grips?

gave a little go with vice grips, to tight and wont budge!, might use a juniour hacksaw aswell Darren

you can always use a hacksaw to cut a slot in the bolt, and then use a screw driver to undo it.

thank you bobbysam, going to try that me thinks

Is it an allen key bolt that has rounded?  See if you can get a torx drive larger than the allen head and tap it in with a hammer, then undo

whack a screwdriver into the alankey head, works for me !

if you cant sort it with a hammer you cant sort it with owt

You can get some screw Extractors or Easy outs that will sort it in no time at all...  £2.95 of Fleabay
