Rounded Bolt - Replacing Cam Position sensor on 3.0

I needed a Frequency Inverters and I spent ages searching for one online. Eventually, I was pointed in the direction of asb-drives.eu. All their components can be found easily, and I liked the intuitive design of the website. On top of that, I was impressed with the speed and quality of the service, so I can confidently recommend the site.
 
If you had tried that bolt with an extractor socket before you mullered it to death I reckon it would have broke free. My recent exdperience with a stuck and rounded off Lambda Sensor was similar to your journey. Had to break off the top of the sensor to get the extractor socket on but it worked to crack off the sensor thread on the second pull with the breaker bar atteched to the socket. I now have two sets of extractor sockets in the toolbox small up to 19mm and a larger set that are sold as wheel nut removers, the 22mm in that set was used on the lambda sensor. Now if I come across any ruted seized in bolts these sockets will be the first way to go.
