Ah, packs of bolts are cheap as chips. And you can never have too many! Go for 10mm heads with metric thread. Get 3 or 4. You'll find a use for the others one day!

Start by spraying some penetrating lubricant like WD-40 on the bolt and leaving it 24 hours.

When I was at supercrap the other day they had a freeze spray (-42\"C I think it said), you could spray some of that on the bolt and see if that helps loosen it.

Good luck, snapped bolts really suck :frown:

has anyone removed the actual battery clamp/battery terminal from the wire? i tried replacing mine, and it looks like it's been clamped together really tight on the wire :cry:

no luck.. it has robbed me of my confidence haha
