went to take theright shock out of my 1100 last weekend to replace the rubber boot which is perishing badly. Got the top bolt out but the bottom one has a bad head from a previous life. No socket would fit, I even tried an 11mm one by hammering it onto the chewed up head, no joy there. Then my dad gave me one of those magic sockets that is supposed to grip even the worst worn bolt head. That just fell apart just as I thought it was about to get a start. Guru or not, I'm a bit stumped as to what to do next. Any suggestions?
