Bearing replacement - how to remove a star bolt?

How do I remove the star bolt from the drum on Margherita A1435 Ariston Margherita 2000

It,s actually a torx head bolt,tap it first with a drift and a hammer,then get someone to hold the pulley with both hands then using the correct torx fitting and a ratchet undo the bolt.
When re-placing the bolt use a tiny amount of thread lock or stud and bearing lock on the thread of the bolt otherwise the spinning will make the bolt come undone.
