I have got the brake pads n caliper off but the screw in the disc is a bitch and is dead tight. Any advice on getting it out?

Put a screwdriver on it, and then tap the end of the screwdriver with a hammer. It may loosen it.

If not, whack a big flathead into it and raum it off.

I always use copper grease on the screw when fitting to avoid this happening in the first place.

I never refit the screw. its only on there to hold the disc into position during assembly at the factory.

usually they need to be drilled out, not difficult to do.
