I have just broken my last screwdriver bit trying to undo a brake disc retaining screw. What is the size of the bit I should get to remove these stubon screws?

PS The car is a 1998 1.8 civic Aerodeck, but all the Honda discs I have changed have been the same sort of screw. (Usually chisel size)

Those screws take the biggest size of Phillips that's sold in your local hardware store.
If I were you, I'd get a "hand impact driver", the kind you smack with a hammer. These cost about $10 and already come with the necessary bits.

and those bits should be tougher than the ordinary screwdriver bits/tips.
#3 phillips. as tegger says, impact driver is the way to go.
Thanks all Off to order one

You need to know how to use it, by the way. They don't always come with instructions.
