Mike,

Without seeing the car I can't see where you are having the problem. I don't have a clue where to get extensions, because of running hundreds and maybe thousands of those bolts in and out, I have never had any trouble. I have seen stripped bolt holes after a chain store visit where they use big fast air guns. They turn the bolts too fast and the friction heats the threads to the point where they seize. Is your torque wrench calibrated? are you applying only about 65 to 85 foot pounds? Are the theads in some of the holes on poor condition? I always run the bolts in dry without any lubricant or anti seize. If all the above is in order, I'd go with factory bolts and I'll bet every other professionl mechanic on here would concur. Also I run the bolts in and out with a low speed and low torque air gun.

Good luck,
Peter
