take it back to the mechanic make him take i t off but to take it off you will probaly need to get a socket with 5ive side not the multiple one as that wil make it worse.

i recon he used a rivet gun to put it back on.

take it back and get them to fix it

Rivet gun? or impact gun?

yeah i reckon my mechanic used some kind of fckn drill to put mine on :rant:

if its already rounded then theres not much you can do about that, just take it back to him and get him to fix it, but yeah for future reference always make sure you have the right size tool for the job.. if you rounded it then it wasnt the right size, the right size tool wouldnt have had any movement on the plug and therefore couldnt have rounded it. You probably needed something a touch smaller
