Jim, Use the small vice grips (5"), either regular or needle nose. If you are in the Blue Bell area today, stop by and I'll lend you mine. Been there, done that!

Wally is spot on. A small set of vise-grips used as well. Clamp them on, and also use the allen socket. By combining the forces, the bolt should move.

bought a small set of vise grips. Will get to work after dropping kid off.

Alright vise grips didn't work. So chisel and hammer. Had to get mid-evil on those bitches. They are out. Will have to bring the bolts.

Pounding the 6mm into the bolt head does wonders. All six on the outer cv boot came out no problems!!!

Glad you got it.  I have one of these in an 8" model for bolt heads.  Very archaic but really works well.  Ask Wally about them.

I even have one that is 6", but you have to be a trained professional to use it.

My Dad gave me one so big that they had to use an aluminum frame so that you can lift the darn thing....
