    Put a old 12mm socket on a extension, and bash it over the bolt (if your meaning the 6 bolts that attach driveshaft to gearbox)

    I think the hot tip is you should use a spline drive not a allen key to begin with

    yeh track down a spline tool, if you've used a hex they are still salvageable. Tap the spline in with a hammer and remove bolt as normal, worked for me.

    ive decided to get the car painted professionally.
    this will happen in the next month or so depending on how hectic my saving gets.
    anyone got any ideas for paint?

    mate, use a set of vice grips, they come out no worries, I always use the grips to crack em then use the sockets

    Whatever you go with, make sure you consider wheel colour at the same time
