I use a set of special sockets made by a firm called IRWIN. these have a fluted inside that bites into the rounded head of the bolt for removal. Although a bit expensive at about £50 for the set they easily pay themself back in situations like yours. They can be bought at Machinemart etc.

Does anyone know where i can get fuel tap gaskets for an xs1100 special or if the gasket for any of the other models has the same dimensions to replace my worn and leaky ones? I need to get it back on the road soon or i will go mad.
