did you get the disc off?

if you can get the disk off it should be all ok

the screw only holds the disk on in the right spot while you put the wheel on


but a pair off mole grips might do it. or hacksaw wats left and leave it.

if you cant get the disk off then get a big club hammer and hit the back of the disk . that will break the screw and then u can carry on!

i got the disc off that was done with a little persuassion

the problem is the bit left in the hub needs to come out so i can put a new grub screw in

I wouldn't worry to much about putting a new screw in, they're not needed, they only hold the disc still to make it easier putting a wheel on., the wheel studs will hold the disc in place once the wheel is on.

If you don't put the grub screw in. Make sure the hole in the disk aligns with the broken stud.
If the broken screw stands proud it could hold the disk off at an angle

Good point.... Well said!

if you have trouble lining the holes up for the wheel nuts, theres a tool in you bmw tool kit that does it

the one with the plastic handle
