Rear discers,
I ground and smashed the crimped part off and then put a 3/4 drive onto that dirty slut of a bolt. When it did'nt budge, I put a hydraulic jack under the handle of the ratchet and then jacked like crazy. The car lifted slightly; and then that satisfying 'crack' of a ultra tight nut finally doing what it's told!! A bit bodge(the car lifting while I'm under it) but it worked!!
