But they're not a deep-well socket, which would probably have been what you needed.

This is what I had in mind and would have worked fine. The rear strap mount had a few inches of thread on it and it was rusted toast. The head fit in a slot at the rear of the frame. I replaced that with a fresh carriage bolt which worked perfectly. I will look into this Sears socket set. The front strap was just a bolt into the frame. Had to grind the head off and drill and tap a new hole. Thank you

Hi Bob, When I use my set on something that needed a deep well. On the end of them, is a 6 point head I use a box wrench on. Or a deep well socket to go on to it. The stud can poke thru the center hole on it.

On taking them out. I have a torch I will use to heat them up a bit before I try, and use P/B blaster to soak the threads a bit before. A regular propane torch works the same.

Another option is a dremel or angle grinder to just cut off the head of the bolt or nut. Of course that is a concern next to the gas tank.

I've used these as well and they do work very effectively as well.

But, they can still twist off a bolt head.

Anytime I need to do a job on the undercarriage or exhaust, for a week prior to the job, I spray WD-40/PB-Blaster/Pentrating Oil on the nuts and bolts, once a day, every day for a week. Giving it a week to soak up the penetrating oil and allow it to penetrate the threads and loosen the seizing from corrosion, and the nuts back out like normal.

Penetrating oil just before the job, doesn't give it time to penetrate, for seriously corroded fasteners, you need to keep applying the penetrating oil for days.

The only time it hasn't worked, is on bolts so long or large, that even a week of applying penetrating oil every day still didn't get it to penetrate enough.
