Blimmey that low! I guess it will have been that blue thread lock stuff that is already on them, when you buy them new, that sheered two of my T30 bits and deformed the third when removing the existing ones!

Thank you c10 :-)

Tips on easy removal . heat with a map torch on a low setting to release the Loc Tite . Put the heat on the bolt only . a few seconds is all that's needed usually
