I assume you’ve already tried shocking the socket in the opposite direction to free off the hex bind.  :-\
Oh yes, no joy.

I’ve found throwing it on the floor sometimes separates them
Nothing wants to separate this one.  Might have to buy a new one.  Poxy JLR wheel nuts, lol.


Chrisgixer had about 30mins trying to seperate it yesterday, and has now taken it home to have another go, LOL
Tell him to accidentally drop it near a gully, it will jump out and fall deep into the drain.  ;D

Sons MK7 Civic. Topped up oil, coolant & screenwash. Fitted new bonnet pull as the old one had snapped off.
Removed a front caliper to check detaills as it needs new ones, but there are various options.
Then cleared some of the crap from the inside of it, as its like a skip.
The only car Ive been in  where you wipe your feet when you get out.  ::)

My daughters car is spotless inside but she uses the boot as a wardrobe for various jackets and shoes.  ::)

Can you refuse to test a car if it's too untidy etc.?

Yes but some times it's more grief than shifting a few things and when your fully booked (like at Hellfrauds, not even time for a cuppa) it's best to keep the peace and the manager gets shitty!!

Cut a hole in the endplate of the box I got to take the EGR delete in, using the original socket cut from the EGR valve it is now glued into the end plate. Have to wait till it sets now before assembly.
