Just installed new rotors I bought from Brake Zone (docofmind) and I must say they make a big difference. More brake feel and better response. They look great and were a breeze to install. I must thank Docofmind for all his help with this mod. He is a very informative and overall great guy. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to replace or upgrade your brakes. BTW the screws that hold on the rotors on my car came off with just a Philips head screw driver and a little twisting. Maybe because the car is new but it was one of the easiest installs. PM Docofmind for any info he is glad to help. When I figure out how to post pics I will.

 

PICTURES, PICTURES, PLEASE!

Sounds awesome!

 

definetly came off because your car was new. Trust me I almost beat the shit out of myself getting that damn screw loose.

 

Sears, among other places, sells a hand 'impact driver'. I've seen other brands work just as well, but just about everyone has access to a Sears store.

The Craftsman one is a cylinder somewhere around 2" diameter, mayber 6" long, with a 1/2" square drive at the end. (I'm speaking from memory, so don't hold me to the exact dimensions.) There's an adapter that fits on the 1/2" square and holds 5/16" hex drive bits. You get two sizes of straight and 2 sizes of Phillips, I believe.

You put an appropriate bit in the driver, make sure that it is set to remove, not tighten, put the bit in the screw head, and whack that sucker with a hammer.

The hammer blow:
1. Pushes the bit down into the screw head really hard, so you're less likely to strip the screw head.
2. Generates substantial torque to loosen the screw.
3. Generates a bit of shock/vibration that seems to help loosen tough screws.

I know that it sounds too good to be true, but these things will remove just about any screw, if the object it's threaded into is substantial enough to allow the hammer blow. Works great on brake rotors; wouldn't recommend it for watch repair.

WEAR SAFETY GLASSES or SAFETY GOGGLES(ANSI Z87). Bits sometimes break and you don't want to be blind in one or both eyes.

And if anyone finds one of these impact drivers with a 3/8" square and an adapter that will hold 1/4" bits, please post or PM me the source. 1/4" bits will break a lot more often(see advisory in paragraph above), but there is a wider availability of things like Robertson, Torx, etc. in the 1/4" hex.

 

If I am not mistaken when I went to Sears t buy the impact driver that I didn't need they had 1/4" because the gy tried to sell me that one. It was a bit more money though.

 

OMG!!! Where are the pictures?
