This one was seized on mine and snapped when trying to remove.

I suggest a liberal soaking with penetrating oil for a few days before any attempt to remove and of course make sure the socket is not worn and a snug fit on head of the bolt.

Mine had to be drilled out but as it is not captive, a nut could be fitted on a longer bolt.

Hope this helps.

Half of mine snapped!!!
