Ahhhh....my bad,sorry.

As said try a torx head or the old fave of cutting a slot in the head and use a large flat blade in an impact socket

Afternoon All,

Update again.

Managed to remove the last 12th bolt !!!

Tried to weld a bolt into it, however it snapped when I used the spanner, but immediately after this gave it another go with an allen key and it went!!

I think temperature did its job!

OK, now I am ordering new set of bolts and pair of front discs.

Am going for OM's from the link attached above.

Here is another question for you guys:

Are the discs directional and are they specific right / left ??

I noticed the hub is marked with two dots brake side and one dot clutch side - same marks on discs ??

See pictures below:

Many thanks again for your help,

Chris

Heat is usually enough in this situation with dissimilar metals - steel in aluminium alloy... and it was. Result! :023:

The discs are not 'handed' they can be fitted on either side. They are the same part number both sides. When the Z came out in 2008, they just gave it two LH discs from an XTR!

Thanks Pleiades!

that what I thought.

I think the discs (not the hub) were marked by mechanics when I had the front stripped for hub re-spraying etc ?
