Hi,

I’m trying to replace the rear pads on my Astra J but have hit a snag. Replacement of the front pads was nice and straightforward but the problem I’m having with the rear is that the bolt head on the mass displacement damper stud is worn and using a spanner on it is going to round it off. The studs on both sides are the same and a spanner will not grip them. Has anyone had a similar problem and if so how do you get them out?!

Many thanks
