Hi Dackel, my sockets are all brand new, and although not Snap-On or anything hyper expensive they are decent quality chrome vanadium sockets. Weirdly, when using the only socket that seemed to fit and a breaker bar for leverage it just seemed to round them off like they were made of cheese. Don't think I rounded them much though. I've since bought a set of Irwin sockets for removing rounded bolts, so hopefully they will fit in the space as required. Could I replace these nuts with a stainless set, rather than the BMW ones? Or is there some reason I shouldn't?
