    T30 if my memory hasn't failed.

    I've also had one round off once. I just drilled the top off it with a large drill bit and removed the disk. The thread came out fine with a pair of molegrips. Then bought a new screw for reasssembly.

    You are correct. It is a T30 size. Just looked in the how2 section for changing discs and pads.

    E20 is the size of the bolts holding the calliper onto the hub.

    Hi guys.
    Thanks for all the advice. I got it out fairly easy in the end. I just tapped a screwdriver into it and tapped it round with a hammer.
    Big relief
