Disk removal

[jokips]

I have a K12 1.4 SX. The front disks need replacing after 20K. There are two torx bolts( six pointed splined) fixing the disk to the hub. I have tried removing them with a torx socket, it fits well but just slips out when any pressure is applied. Am I using the correct tool, if not what is the correct tool called.

I haven't had the wheels off ours yet so haven't seen the bolts.
Is it internal or external torx?
Are the bolts rusty?
Sometimes it they're rusty you can fit the wrong torx bit, which will then slip.
Torx I find a pain at times. I've had to drill them out in the past.
Once out it might be an idea to go to a fastener supplier and replace them with a bolt with say a Philips or Posidrive type head. Make sure it's the same tensile strength though.
Bit of Copaslip on them when replacing is a good idea.
