One of the hub to carrier bolts has rounded while trying to remove it. Any suggestions? I have new ones on order from vauxhall but obviously i need to get this off

the 10mm allen key one?
not fun, i've done it myself and ended up angle grinding the head of the bolt off and getting a new carrier.

Not good news, last time a slide bolt snapped and had to be drilled but being hardened steel was quite difficult.
Now i know why they recomend using new bolt as all the ones on the front are knackered, just turning into dust.

going to try a bolt extractor on them this morning, only concern is with threadlock on it might not turn it and its quite awkward to drill. think i might take the hub off and go from there. no rush still waiting on vauxhall for the new bolts anyway
