As above im wondering should I just drill out the little bolt that holds the disk in place once the wheel bolts are out? They are solid and ive already broken a T30 trying to loosen them but they just wont budge. I guess the lifetime warranty on my Halfords socket set will be used sooner than I thought especially since I just got it on Sunday! |

they shouldn't be that tight, though a manual impact driver will help.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I find if you hit them with a hammer they usually crack off with a sharp jolt using using the t30 socket on an extension... I find it's all down to technique rather than power.________________________________________ Deepak Gohil |

surely though making them colder makes them more brittle and prone to snapping |

freezing the fastener quickly shrinks them and breaks the seal of corrosion.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Well in the end I just drilled it out. However it seems that was just the start of my problems! The slider bolt heads are so corroded that they will not release either and the 13mm socket and spanner just turns on it. Tried a half inch one too but same story. Anyone know any ways I could free these? Maybe a 6 sided socket rather than a 12 would help? I did try taking the whole caliper off but when I fit the new pads and disks there simply isnt enough room for everything so I reckon the sliders need freed so I have a bit more space to get everything on again  This day has been one problem after another, im off to have a beer I think (certainly dont need to worry about driving the car!) |

I'd probably try gripping the heads with mole grips as they shouldn't really be that tight, other than the corrosion. 35FtLb with threadlock on. |

You are putting a 17mm spanner on the slider part aswell as just the 13mm bolt aren't you?________________________________________  Seat Leon Cupra FR / 306 GTI6 / Breaking 205 GTI6 / Caterham 7 / Mercedes Sprinter 311CDI LWB Sold: Fisher Fury - Laguna DCI Estate - P1 306 XSI - E30 BMW 325i Baur Convertible - Daihatsu Fourtack - Suzuki GSXR600 - 205 Rallye |

The only movement is the socket or spanner rounding it off. Might thump a 12mm on and use that, unfortunately both sliders are the same and I have a fair idea the other side of the car will also be the same too. Grr. |

You may be able to cheat a little, if the 13mm is rounding off, give the 17mm a thump on the spanner, may well be enough to break the theadlock / corrosion etc.________________________________________ Seat Leon Cupra FR / 306 GTI6 / Breaking 205 GTI6 / Caterham 7 / Mercedes Sprinter 311CDI LWB Sold: Fisher Fury - Laguna DCI Estate - P1 306 XSI - E30 BMW 325i Baur Convertible - Daihatsu Fourtack - Suzuki GSXR600 - 205 Rallye |
