Any prospect of welding a nut onto the remains?

Is there space to use "Sammy" to hammer a slightly smaller impact socket onto the remains and turn it with a breaker bar?

Worked on SWMBO's old Rover ones :y

Yep, that's worked for me before. Used a different type of socket though. A cheap socket!

There ain't a lot to get a hold of much with anything - I reckon it'll be a welding job of some sort - maybe using the original socket as I won't be using it again for anything else now..

Thanks for all the advice - fantastic.

Cheers
