It's probably a bit expensive ( £3.5 - 4k is nearer its value ) but with prices going up you could run it for a couple of years and get your money back if you don't do big miles.
1 - get a 1/2 drive 12 point socket that is ever so slightly too small to fit over the whole nut, fit a extension bar on the socket
2 - lump hammer and beat he socket over the nut
3 - undo
4 - repeat
Life hack for the lazy f**k millennials :
1 - remove oil filter

- Spring rates will be too high for a cold 1A tyre (try cooksports on cup shocks)

It's a mechanics saying when someone has put lots of new parts on something to fix it rather than diagnosing which has actually failed.
A decent diagnostic tech with a lab scope will tell you what the issue is, ( it's not always a component failure sometimes it's a bad connection or damaged...
Do a compression test, if that that doesn't show anything take it to a garage that knows how to use a lab scope it'll be cheaper than the old parts cannon
The 3/8 and 1/2 sockets are now 6 point rather than 12 which was the only thing I could ever knock them on before, mine are all used in a scrap yard environment and get serious abuse, the only thing I've had fail is a 3/8 breaker bar that I slid a tube over and the odd torx socket.
