Question sockets

I didn't know where to post this so I put it in here. I was using the wrong size size socket on my y-pipe bolts and now they are stuck in the socket. Is there something I can soke them in or something so they will fall out. Thanks.

So the socket is stuck on the bolt. I did that once and beat it off with my ratchet. I guess a hammer would work.

I got one stuck on accident before. Too short of a socket and it got cocked at an odd angle and locked on. It took a little persuasion, but it came out finally. I used a line up tool and a light deadblow hammer, it eventually wanted to come out. Give it a little persuasion, don't be shy with it
