Followed the haynes manual of removing the air box, air duct, etc and then onto the starter motor. Got everything off bar the lower bolt. Which is out most of the frigging way! Unfortunately it seems the head has rounded off slightly and my socket isn't grabbing it properly anymore. Annoyingly I have some good wall sockets which I left at home! Currently working on the car at my mums.
I've done the obvious soaking in penetrating fluid, etc. But I can't seem to get purchase anymore. It's annoying as f*** because I can't even see the condition of it to see how bad it really is!
Haven't even started on the transmission/gearbox
Any tips? Other than put everything back together, go home and use those sockets?

Hi guys,
