keeping the drums on would be the simple answer, they are perfectly adequate

If the alan key slips, therye either knackered bolts, or more than likely cheap shat alan keys.

Try mole grips, or grind the head off, then slide the part off, and drill the bolt out.

Disc are pointless even with LET power IMO.

If the bolts are stripped then drill the heads off if you've tried everything else.

keep the drums mate discs are crap on a nova they just make the rear end skip all over when braking harshly. drums are all you need .and a nice set of front brakes
