the 5.5 bolts wont come out of the bottom of my struts.
i have one socket broken off in one of the bolts and cant find a tool strong enough to remove the bolts.
what is recommended to remove these? because standard tools do not work.

Heavily apply wd-40 and then use impact power tools to get greater torque and rotational acceleration to break those suckers free

Try a little heat... i broke 2 tools and then broke the screw and had to drill it out....but on the other side i used a butane burner an put a little heat on the screw to melt the loctite....then i used a electric impact gun and the screws came right out
Be carfull with the heat though...not too much
Good luck
btw...the screws are 0009904477 get a few just in case you need to drill them out like me
