OK, welcome to farkin, wolf2560

as mentioned try searching, spell checking..... and, we're all full of good ideas around here.... just need more information so we might help you.

1) Did you use a Torx screw driver to try and remove the bolts? or did you ghetto up an allen key?

2) Are the heads stripped?

3) What kind of hub are they in??

I had the same problem and this is what I did......
I got to the point where I could not get anymore purchase on the bolt and the head was pretty rounded.

I put some tape over the rotor so as not to ruin it

I then got a hack saw and really carefully and slowly cut a channel across the middle of the bolt much like an old school flat head screw.

I then got a large flat head screw driver and with the extra torque and power of the big driver it came free.

Good luck it took me about 1/2 hr to complete
