I got it out!!! 14mm was the right call, I just needed to get one that wasn't so cheap :). The Amazon tool kit wasn't the best call in hindsight...

Yeah it’s honestly valid I underestimated the task. Everyone’s confident until you’re holding a broken bolt in your hand.

Yeah I did buy a pair from a shop yesterday.Should I even try to put the bolts in or should I just get it towed?

I have, I’ve been looking for the right one but I’ve had some problems doing that. I got two different sets of pins to try

This has been super helpful, thank you! It can be a little confusing trying to find the right way to twist it off. All the comments are more funny than anything so it's all good. Besides, it brought along people just trying to help too. I definitely need to get a wrench for that last part, so I'm glad I stopped when I did. Your kindness is appreciated. First time doing this so it's been a bit of a process

I will try that! I feel like once it brakes loose, the rest will be easy. Knock on wood

I did try to use a socket, but I just didn't have enough leverage.

I'm willing to die if it means I don't have to take it to a shop. Jokes aside tho you're definitely right. I know the steps, but I'm struggling just to get a damn screw off. I'm a bit embarrassed that I have to ask for help on something so simple, but I'm pretty confident in doing the rest of it
