Default This stupid bolt is making me mad!! Need Help

There isn't enough room for me to stick my socket wrench in there. I got the first one off in the dark. This one I cant and Im doing it in the daylight. I tried to use the needle nose pliers and those cant grip it either

You might just have to go buy the appropriate socket from an auto parts store if you don't have one, it sucks but it sure beats stripping it.

A 1/4" 10mm socket should fit fine in there. I've never had to use anything special to get one of those out.

Default well

I went back to home depot, I did pick up 1/4 thin. I'm not sure if the one I had before was 1/4 but it did work. Thanks
