easy peasy mate

get a 1mm cutting disc into a grinder, and cut a groove into it like a groove for a screw driver, then grab an impact driver (if you dont have one they are cheap as at super cheap) and off ya go with a hammer

you could also use a torx allen key bit and hammer it in there.. the hammering should loosen it up a bit too.

note tho im not talking about the cheap torx bits you get from supercheap... have to go to a tool store to get one

fairly easy fix , seans method is the go , but the cheap version is the gut and then screwdriver , id use a dremel for a smaller cutting wheel , if not use a grinder but try to get the wheel small as possible so you dont cut into the rotor ,,heat it up as well even tho the grinder will do this as you cut , and a impact driver is a good tool to have in your kit

Ok awesome thanks guys. I think Ill just leave it permanently attached to that hub actually. Get a new disc for the other one. Thanks for the help
