Argh! A hex key socket on my ratchet simply rounded out the hole in the center of the socket screw.
A pipe wrench on the washer accomplished nothing. Wouldn't budge.
Finally, my lizard brain instincts took over, causing my cortex to shrivel up to the size of a raisin. The higher level thought processes ceased, to be replaced by the panted words "Must...destroy...evil...bolt."
I took out the angle grinder and ground off the head until the washer fell off. What was left of the socket screw backed out with finger pressure.
Now on to the next fastener that will snap, gall, strip or refuse to come loose. Why I abuse myself this way is a mystery.
