I am trying to replace my front disc which has become warped (like me...), but I can't get the old disc off the hub. I have removed the caliper and pads, but I can't remove the cradle that the caliper bolts onto, because the back bolts are rusted solid and are almost prefect circles. I have loads of 17mm sockets to undo the bolts as well, but all seem too big . Until I get this cradle off, I can't get the disc out, so any advice on remove these bolts would be appreciated.
Oh, and if you're interested, I read that a few of you are having problems with the allen key screw that holds the disc on. I just used a very thin cutting blade for an angle grinder, and cut clean through the middle. Yes, it cut into the old disc, but seeing as I'm replacing that, so be it. I then undid it just using a (very) large flat bladed screwdriver.

Currently on Volvo 440 number 4, and after scrapping my first 480, I will get another one when space/money allows it.
