Not had a set for a while so no pics taken previously but i have been asked htf do you get them out once snapped
I know there are members who have 108s either part split or with bolts to remove so hope this helps . its not exactly high tech but it is pi55 easy .
I bought a set last week & out of the 80 bolts i had 2 snappers well here's how to remove them in under a minute
You need a small grinder , selection of small sockets & a hammer
Step 1 is to grind 2 flat sides on the protruding bolt
Step 2 is drive onto the bolt a smaller socket
Step 3 extract the bolt

Instead of hammering a socket onto the bolt after you have 2 flats on it you could grip the flats with mole grips and then put a bar between the teeth and turn them out that way.
Seen this done with disk bolts on bike wheels but same thing.

Good,Technique Mr Wilks.
Are the replacement bolts expensive to buy individually - or do you have to buy a full set ?
