What size torx head is it on a 1997 fat boy rear rotor and any tricks to getting it loose used breaker bar + tried hand impact that you hit with hammer + breaker bar just snapped 3 T47/ T45 off clean. have them soaked down with PB blast now until tomorrow trying to taking off the stock wheels and replacing with 80spoke can't find hardened torx bits maybe have to weld nut to torx head hate them torx head will replace with Allen guessing it's the two different metals
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated Thx Tony. \m/

1st time user hope I'm in the right spot������

Yea, hit them with some heat. Let them cool a bit and then try again.

I can't stand torx head hardware. They suck !!!
