[ROVERNET - UK] tough nut

Not had the problem where you have it but did have a
stubborn head bolt on my P4. I hammered on a smaller
socket and I mean right on - desperate measures -
applied an air-driven impact wrench and it just
unscrewed. I looked at it and it said to me 'What was
all the fuss about?' or something like that.
