Trying to get the bloody brake disc off of the girlfriend's car so i can change the wheel bearings. It's held in with a T50 torx that is well and truly locked in place. It snapped my standard Torx so I'm looking for a impact one but nowhere local seems to stock them. (obviously i can buy one online but i want it today).

You'll probably find you'll have to drill it out or something, my sisters bini had to have both sides ground out not long ago as she was having new discs, nothing would shift them and they just started chewing up :/ On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I tried to change the discs and pads, wasn't getting anywhere so the car went to my mates garage and he couldn't budge them either. The wheels hold the disc on anyway much like a mini rear drum, never bothered with the retaining screws, just drill it out bud. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

You could try mig welding a bolt to the head of the torx screw and then an impact socket on that.

i'm going to put in the garage to fix. not worth my time to get those things off! Wash out your mouth with soap!! A garage won't do anything you can't. Heat area around bolt thread. Then wallop on a smaller socket and undo. Resulting in job done and cash in your pocket.

Anyway, called them up today.... £500 to do a pair of wheel bearings! apparently the genuine bearings are £200/ side. That's given me the incentive to sort it out myself. Bought a twist socket set to help with the job (always been meaning to get some anyway) . Guess I know what i'm spending next weekend doing. |

Did you buys new ones separate? I've yet to find them on their own. |

Which 4 bolts do you mean? All 4 around the car? On the back this one had one securing bolt each per disc, didn't really do anything to be honest, never got replaced anyway after being ground out afaik. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:
