Whoever engineered this torx fitting needs to be shot ... Why can't they be like Ford or BMW oh i forgot its f**** peugot.

Torx fittings have been around for 45 years.
Disc screw = impact driver OR if you havent got one put the torx bit in the screw head & hit it hard several times with a hammer BEFORE you attempt to undo it.

#24: Re: 206 gti problems Author: Linkpad, Location: WalesPosted: Sun Mar 11, 2012 11:49 am ---- i just remember other cars ive been on they had standard screw fittings, as for the drop links most other cars have a bolt or fixing to anchor down on the opposite end.
edward u reckon a small hacksaw would take the bolt off a drop link, i cant see that working ?
I tried hammering the torx screw on the disc, looks like an impact torx is best option. Why oh Why did i buy a 206.

#27: Re: 206 gti problems Author: Linkpad, Location: WalesPosted: Sun Mar 11, 2012 1:53 pm ---- aah cheers ill try that with a hacksaw, and get impact driver for the rear discs
#28: Re: 206 gti problems Author: Linkpad, Location: WalesPosted: Tue Mar 13, 2012 12:18 pm ---- 3rd attempt at taking that god damn nut off the drop links this time with a hacksaw and a hammer and chisel even with 1/3 of the nut cut off and chiselling it like hell the thing still won't budge... Not sure i be able to get a nut splitter over it ...
