i doubt it tbh and if you get the wrong size drill you could ruin the hub try taking the disk of like some one suggested then if you can get a grip with pliers or mole grips

id say drilling it as a last resort as it could be tricky

try and see if any neighbours etc have a set of easy outs.simple to use.drill a hole in the centre.screw the easy out of the prefered size in(left handed thread)and it should come out easy

there is another way this may seem abit extreme though it if you could get a small bar and then tack weld it onto the bolt so you could unscrew it

get a drillbit that is smaller than the bolt itself. Drill a small hole inside the bolt, then stick a torx in that and loosen it that way. Give the torx a good wack to get it inside the hole.

WOrked for me once.


Had a bolt snap off last week due to bad bolt quality, and with the disc taken off I could just grab hold of it.

Im going to have a go at drilling it later.

disc off to see if there is any meat left to get at, failing that i usually weld inside the hole of a large nut to the end of em, heat usually helps loosen it all up a bit and give ya summat big n tough to undo :):)

nothing will happen. and I am not talking about wacking the car so hard it falls off the jack lol

just a presuasive tap to get the torx bit inside the hole you drilled in the nut.

If you have access to a welding machine than thats you best option

Ok peoples
Got it sorted earlier..
Ended up taking the caliper and brake off.

There was about 10mm showing and that was enough for vice grips to get at them.

Well chuffed :) :) :)

Lesson learnt.
DO NOT TIGHTEN TO HARD lol


Thanks again people for all suggestions
Appreciate it !!
