I can't seem to get past the 2 little screws holding on each rotor. What's the trick? I've sprayed the screws down with the penetrating stuff about 20 times and I only got 3 screws off out of the 8.

 

you're using an impact screw driver right?

 

Trick number 1: don't use the screws

Trick number 2: if you do use the screws, switch rotors often enough so that they don't bind up in there

Trick number 3: use an impact driver

Trick number 4: if all else fails, drill 'em out

(I use trick number 1.)

 

What do you use in place of the Screws?

 

air

 

You don't necessarily need an impact screwdriver as much as the right size screwdriver and the proper techinque. The first time I took mine off I used a ratchet with a giant phillips-bit socket. Push the bit into the screw as hard as you can with one arm and then give the wrench a swift anti-clockwise jerk with the other and it should pop loose.

 

I put anti-seize on the screw and barely tighten (just to keep the rotor from moving around when wheel is off). Never seized again.

The impact screwdriver happens to come with the right size Philips head (I think #3), which is half the battle as Guntersmurf said.

 

Drill them out. Then use a hammer

 

I do the same thing. You only need the screw tight enough so the rotor doesn't flop around.

 

One of those impact screwdrivers is what i used and i suck at stuff. Just get it so it is turning in the right direction and smack it with a hammer....

You don't need to put any of the screws back in and everything stays in place. It makes it easier when you swap out the rotors after you destroy them at the track anyway.

goodluck.
