wheel cylinder nut remove

this (below) will work - you're replacing them so you just want them off - condition afterwards is a non-issue.. the socket needs to fit TIGHT to the bolt head - as in.. it may take a hammer to get it on there - - the hard part is getting the head of the bolt out of the socket - which is actually easy too.. take the socket off the wrench and jam a screw driver in the backside - pop it a couple of times on your work bench - done. Oh, getting hot, but not red glowing, is a good idea too.
try a 6 point socket, or perhaps a metric one that you can drive on.
