Brakes

Trying to remove my discs on the van and the screw that holds them in place (one of those star bits ) will not move, 4 bits down already but an intact screw head thank god, I’ve tried some wd40, penetration spray and nothing, anyone got any clever tips ?

I’ve got one of those ones that you bang with a hammer if you want to borrow

I had that problem on our C1 and in that case, it was because the screw went through the hub face and the other end was corroded really badly. One side I drilled out the bolt completely . Once I had figured out what was happening, I drilled off the head, cut a slot in the screw and easily screwed it clockwise into the hub and out the other side (no access to use a grinder to take the excess bolt length off from behind the hub unfortunately). I replaced the screws with shorter stainless ones.

i hope this helps

Try some heat on it (blowtorch), it might help as the head is still ok

Its not a left hand thread is it?

You really need an impact driver, as its the shock that undoes the screw,

I have an impact tool here if you need one

Just drill the head off it if you cant move it and then forget about it . They are used for mass assembly but not required for general maintenance. The wheel nuts wheel hold the disc on the hub

Hammer and small chisel

Sorry mate WD40 isn't penetrating oil you can try some heat or put some pressure on the bit you're using and then a series of shape smart wacks with a hammer
