Yep. Me too. An absolute bas***d to get undone. Just took brute force and high quality tools. Destroyed some cheap ones on the way.

Hello John107,

I did the same thing with the DK Customs extensions.

I purchased this on Amazon.

Lisle 29200 3/8" Hand Impact Tool Set



You place the Torx socket bit on the tool, place it directly on the Torx bolt/screw and hit the end with a hammer.

The impact pushes the socket into the bolt/screw and turns it counterclockwise in small increments to loosen it.

We got it loosened and removed.

It was a difficult task.

I hope this helps,
Lboy06.
