Ahh worry not, I've been working on Omegas since I was a wee nipper, and at the weekend it took me two hours to remove two caliper bolts and completely ruin the allen screw for the brake disc. Not a good day, and sometimes things just won't come undone/go the way they're supposed to  :'(

I'm just thinking of the Michael Caine scene in Batman - the "Why do we fall, Master Bruce?..."
Having misread your post, was going to suggest...

One of theses...



A 13/15mm deep socket and a 2' extension, and bish bash bosh ::)

Having reread your post ::) :-[

What you actually need is one of theses...

The trouble with the allen screw in the brake disc is they get over tightened, they only need the lightest of nips. And I seem to recall suggesting to check the throttle screw.......

On the loose plug.....have they really been in there 6 years lol.
