Hate when it does that! Soak with favorite penetrating liquid. Are those socket heads? TIG weld a hex head machine bolt on top of stuck head. I say TIG because a good TIG guy can get a strong joint without overheating the alloy the disc is mounted.

They are hex heads the disk is knackered so thinking of cutting it off the welding a nut on.
