Has anyone used that socket that Sears sells for rounded bolts?

This is not a nice thing to do.
Make sure you have a set of torches to heat the frozen, corroded,
rusted, nuts  before you start removing them.
A cut off tool is a good thing also.
Not a dremel tool,a air compressor powered cut off tool, when the nuts
get rounded and can't be taken off, cut them.
This job takes a lot of time, and is not easy.
Good Morning,

Fred

My 89 Westy is in need of a new exhaust system. I'm thinking the whole
thing. Has anyone installed one and how was the installation.
