Does anybody know or have any advice on how to get the T55 torx bolt out of the lower bracket on the anti roll bar???
So far i've gone through two T55's & one big breaker bar, I cant get access to any air tools this week either think it must be welded on!!! but i'm out of ideas really and I dont want to round out the bolt, because that means drilling it out

soak it in your favourite lubricant, plug gas etc

then put torx driver in, hit it with a mallet a few times,

try your sockets, if that dont work its grinder time

They've been soaking in wd40 for over 24hrs, spraying every few hours, i'm going to get a bigger hammer!!

I'm going to try & get hold of one this saturday in work, but if not a bigger hammer it is

try soaking in ATF & thinners, sounds bizarre but was magic stuff (tip courtesy of irishcj6), makes wd40 resemble water

I'll mix some up in the morning, anythings worth a shot at this time

Fairly sure there on splines into the braket so don't unscrew just knock out. Mine were anyway.

Yep - 2 lump hammers and knock out

[Bubba]

yup its on splines pressed in to bracket funny thing to do cos it sure looks like is should be threaded

WD40 is not a penetrating fluid, is is an evapourating lubricant

grind off, drill it out, the bracket will bend like cheese
