Default Rusty, rounded ARB bolt...

Chaps,

I'm currently doing a front suspension renovation on a 4wd saff. At the moment I am doing battle with an anti-roll bar mounting bolt. The bolt is winning which is my problem. It is now fully rounded by a long way. I specifically purchased these for the job:

Using a system of levers underneath the car I was able to apply a good deal of force pushing the extractor onto the bolt. However, the little blighter is so rusted in that it just rounded at maximum spanner torque anyway - the children in the estate may have learnt some new words.

My question is this:

How do I get it out? I really, really do not want to drill it, but will do only as a last resort.

Does anybody have a magic tool to use that is vaguely near to Crewe?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Alex
