    Undoing disc torque screw?

    What tool should I use for undowing the torques screws that hold on my front discs? I've only got a screwdriver to undo them with and have nearly ****ed the heads on em! :( I've got one of the socket adapter torque things but not in the right size....should I get one of these in the correct size?

    cheers. Matt

    In a word yes

    You can get a rail of them from halfrods for about £15

    Also if the dis spins and theya re tight stick a screwdriver in the holes in the disc edge and use it to stop the disc agaisnt the caliper

    T20 torq spit iirc. could be 15, although im pretty sure its 20. they can be a bitch to get out even with the right tool.

    Tis a 30 m8....noticed that the disc spins...put some string throught one of the holes in the disc..and tied it too the suspension to stop it moving. Got a feeling I've probably rounded the screws off....would I have to drill them out? :(
