Hi having some headaches trying to take of rear discs on my car.
I have take all the stuff off e brake line the caliper the only thing left on is the caliper brace and the the rotor itself.
The thingamajig is held on by 2 hex screw

I got a set of allen keys but i bent the poop out of them tryin to get the stupid screw off.
any help would be much appreciated.

I had to use a bit of penetrating fluid, I think the brand was knock-er-loose!

Spray it on and let it sit for a few hours. It should help out.

the bottom screw is a pain. I had to use the ratchet set at an angle and use a mallet to make sure I dont strip the screw.. Done that a few times - helps to get new screws every time just in case - they are not too expensive (I haven't done that though)...
Good luck..

Wanna has the trick. You gotta throw some penatrating oil (nice) on there, and then hit the screw with a punch and hammer. Make a note to not ruin the head...or it will surely never come off without a drill. But, just hit that thing many, many times, very, very hard. Then just gently torque it off. Then hit it some more. Sometimes you can tighten easier then loosening...so try that, and then back her off till you get it. Best of luck!
