i had one sheer off couple weeks back -- i took it to a garage and they got it out for me --- not too sure how they did it but im guessing tht u drill a hole through the centre on the bolt --put some thing in the hole tht is drilled and then unscre the bolt using the thing u put inside -- i dnt mean drill it out coz tht will leave u with an odd bolt size

i dunno if tht makes sense :? hopefully it helps

remove the disc and there should be a couple turns of the thread showing, pair of mole grips or something similar and twist anti clock wise...

too make left easier spray the thread with some wd-40 :wink:
