Mr Bump:
ok to cut a long story short how do I deal with a rounded off bolt on the bottom of my sump?
I reckon the lads in Solihull made this one on a Friday afternoon out of some especially soft metal..

I'm considering filing it down so I can get a smaller spanner on it.. bad idea?

/rant off

Bush Tucker Man:
Is it positioned so that you can hacksaw/grind a screw-driver slot into it?

Mr Bump:
Thanks, BTM. could be enough depth.... might be worth a 'bash'  :)

I did also think about using my favourite glue "super steel" to fix a socket onto it.

Think I might have a cuppa and a think. while nursing bruised nuckles from slipping spanners.

H:
if your struggling get down to your local friendly engineering shop and get them to weld a peice of flat bar onto it use it as a handle to turn the nut, nuts gonna need replacing once its out anyway.

hobbit:
Try hammering a hexagonal socket onto it smaller than the bolt, or if you can get a narrow chisel down the side of the nut try to split it, then renew the stud as well
