Second, the disc rotates as you try to undo the torx screw. If your handbrake doesn't work (and I assume it doesn't as you're trying to access it), then put two wheel bolts back in loosely and wedge a jack handle or similar between the two bolts and the ground to prevent it turning.
Whilst you've got the disc off, check the brake shoes haven't been put on upside down previously - my RH ones were!

Thanks for the tips that was excellent,have heard some bolts difficult to access do I require a special 13mm spanner?
