I am looking to replace my front hubs - drivers side is humming badly. I attempted it this last week-end but ran into a snag. The old bolts are so rusty that the corners of the heads rounded off when I put pressure on them. Is there any special tool that you all might know of to get these off? Any help would be much appreciated.
