    right ive started to give it a go as ive had the front already done 50mm now so if i leave it im guessing its gonna look fuckin wank.
    
    i got the drivers side torx screw and washer out on the trailing arm, same with the passenger side
    
    problem starts here
    
    rounded off the torx screw on the end of the passenger side one
    
    cant get on the other end of the drivers side one
    
    any ideas? or am i fucked? pretty pissed off as it is and buyin a new beam aint an option as the price of them takes the piss
