Just aout all hubs are aluminium, no surprice there.
Next time add heat, if that doesnt do it, drill the head of.

I did use heat from a blow torch but they still would not budge. I suspect that @Calum is right and the bolts are melded to the hub. Aprilia hubs have lugs like petals sticking out for the bolts to screw into, so there's not a great deal of support their. Sadly the hub is now worthless and will need replacing for-sure. You win some and you lose some, that's just life really.

@calum A complete new rear wheel is £944, a new hub is £364 so not cheap at all. :pouting_face:
Used wheels do not come up very often and are snapped up quickly. I have purchased 2 spare sets of wheels over the past year and was planning to keep the 2 best sets and sell the other. Sadly I now only have 5 usable wheels. I will take the original wheels off and hopefully fingers crossed be able to get the rear disc off, so that I have 2 usable sets again. The front disc is bolted on with hex bolts, just the same as the RS, as the discs are the exact same for both bikes.
It's such a shame as it was a good wheel, new bearings and she was good_to_go. The rim and spokes are still usable, so I'll just have to wait until another rear wheel comes up for sale and build a complete wheel out of all the best parts I have.
