Torx? What's that?

Standard fitment was, I believe, a posidrive screw. Upgrade is Torx.

Pretty sure my '99 F1 had 1 firips per solid disc rather than torx.

Got the right tool but still had to drill it out. Now the disc is seized solid. I’ve tried hammering, plus gas, and heating with a blow lamp, tried the nut & bolt through the carrier trick to push it out and broke one m8 bolt and bent the other. Any other ideas? I don’t want to get too destructive so I can’t get it to a garage if it doesn’t work!

On the screw? Yes I did. That’s not the problem now though, the disc itself is seized on to the hub

Did you drill the screw out fully....or has it flared over the edge of the recess?

usually does the job with a decent sized hammer and proper hit, whack the spigot part of disc with a large copper hammer

Been doing that for ages, drilling right through the screw now to make sure it’s not as @Beneagles suggsted then I’ll try the hammer again
