Default Driveshaft Torx Bolts
Hi all, any ideas on how to remove some rusted, rounded off torx bolts that hold on the rear driveshaft flanges on Escort Cossie (both inner and outer sides?)

you could drill the heads off,might have to remove the rear hub to enable the shaft to pull off over the bolts,then just unscrew the remaining bolts from the flanges

Heat them up, then a good pair of mole grips, all ways works for me.

Probably easier to grind heads off then replace with CAP heads + COPPASLIP on threads!!
