Only thing suggested I've not tried is adding heat. Tried this, wouldn't budge. Just chewing the bolt heads up. Much like your input. Usually is simple although in this case it isn't or else one of the above suggestions would have had this done by now. The only thing I haven't done is...

I've said previously I've done many pads & discs before & never have I had any this hassle to remove a couple of bolts holding on a disc. I'm doing everything that's been suggested & it's still not for happening. Having to grind off the second torx bolt on the same disc smashing away with the...

I've went to do that but now the bolts holding on the disc carrier won't budge. Always something with this car. I was meaning I'd need to grind away the other 3 torx, 1 on this disc & 2 on the other.

This is as far as I'm getting with the angle grinder, been at it for about 15mins. Any ideas toow long I've got to go? I've still another 3 torx heads to do after this

Wasn't too sure if that was the right disc so thought I'd buy a set of cutting discs as well. Yeah I've got a set of moleys that I'll use to try & remove the thread from the bolt. Will do cheers mate. That's what I was using today, initially was working but didn't seem to be that effective...

Got the angle grinder & it came with a thick grinding disc, bought a pack of thin cutting discs as well. Will tackle this tomorrow & hopefully this will be it sorted now. After I've made the X with the angle grinder should I use a chisel/punch/flathead & hammer it anti clockwise yeah? Some carry...

Any idea where I would get the right disc for doing this mate? Impact driver isn't doing anything & the drill bit isn't doing much damage .

Right I'm away to get a 10mm drill bit & I'll try my luck with a impact driver. Is it a pin punch set or a centre punch set I might need?

I'll look at punch sets for it. I'll need to drill out that one anyway. Was looking at impact drivers for the remaining bolts, don't know if they do the torx pieces for them though, all seem to be screw heads I've seen.

Cheers mate I'll pop into screwfix/b&q tomorrow for a few bigger bits.

Need to check what the funds are like first. Always something that should be straightforward that ends up a pain I have other drill bits but think they aren't big enough, only goes upto 6.5mm. This is as far as it's gotten -

Yeah they seem like cheap ones. Only borrowed it so have no idea what kind they are. Yes I'm replacing the pads/discs. I've no access to an angle grinder, just a drill atm. I've not got access to a blow torch or dremel. I'd already tried to spray wd40 & tried hitting it out with a flathead...

After looking on here to see how I can remove the torx bolts I came across this thread - http://www.cliosport.net/threads/drilling-out-front-disc-torx-bolts.433140/ What I want to know is if anyone has any recommendations as to where I can get a decent set of drill bits to drill mine out...

Does anyone have any idea if any tutorials exist swapping the front hubs & suspension components from a 8v to a 16v clio? Also how long would this take roughly for the shocks, hub, pads/discs etc to be swapped over for both sides on each car? One will be going to the scrappy anyway hence the...
