Mate saved the day again as he had a blow torch and the heat freed it enough to undo it.
Ran out of light so i'll put the new disc on tomorrow now.
Did you not read my post

I would not use oil on the bolts either, clean the threads in the wheel and use blue thread lock, as you discovered heat will soften blue threadlock enough to allow you to safely undo the bolts. Is it worth the risk of the bolt loosening, getting caught in the caliper mount and locking the back wheel, I don't think so.
