Default Removing Disks!

Hi All
Having real problems removing the two little screws that hold the front disks on,

I bought an impact driver from Halfrauds but its crap and isnt working.

any ideas on other ways to remove them?

You don't need them - long as you bolt the wheel on properly and tighten opposite nuts to get the wheel sat square on the hub face, all you have lost is convenience.

I got replacement screws from bnq as I did this on a sat and no were else was open. I got the right size thread with the same head , but I could get the write length so I had to cut them down. Il try and look if iv still got the packet in the garage , and let you know which 1s they were

as UF says - you dont need 'em. the wheel holds 'em on once you tighten the wheelnuts.
as you've found out this time; they'll be a nightmare to remove come next replacement.

drill the the heads off; ime the threaded part will be loose once you take the pressure off the head so fingers/pliers will be able to remove them.

Use a heavier mallet with the impact driver.
