Last Nights Nightmare

["Iain Atkinson (ETL)" <iain.atkinson@etl.ericsson.se>]

Hi everyone,

Had a great time last night replacing my brake pressure regulator on my
Coupe Q, everything was going fine until I came to bleed the brakes. Tried
to get one of the front wheels off, the previous owner had fitted genuine
Audi locking wheel bolts, I have the corresponding nut only to find that the
bolts are all chewed up and I can't get them out%$£W£Q%@@###. This is the
case on three wheels, just great, ok so I am able to get to the bleed nipple
and find that it's chewed as well @'~~££$$ so I end up having to use Mole
grips to undo the screw. Oh yeah forgot to say, one of the front shocks has
blown it's oil all over the place, I guess this accounts for the strange
handling experienced on the way home yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not Friday
the 13th is it ?

Does anyone have any advice on how to get these bolts off? 

Looks like I am re building the struts this weekend, my wife is going to
love me for that, not!

P.S. I have to say since joining the list I have had some great advice from
you folks, what great forum we have here.
