I need to know how to remove my rotors! the retaining screw holes are stripped and i am wondering if there is another way to remove them. thanks

I had to take a VERY large phillips head screwdriver and pound it in with a sledge to get enough grip in the screw to be able to turn it and remove the rotors. Just a suggestion.

the screws arn't stipped though ... the screw holes where the screw goes into remove the rotor are...there is no thread on the rotor ...thanks for the suggestion though

the 2 screws hold the rotor on. to remove the rotor, take out the 2 screws, take off the pads and caliper bracket, and pull on the rotor hard or hit it with a rubber mallet a few times.

you don't need the 2 little screws anyway, they are only there to hold the rotors on during vehicle assembly.

You will stripe the screw in no time.

do it right, use an impact driver, they get the job done in no time.

i have a 10 dollar impact driver, i use it for my legend, accord, hopefully my pad will arrive soo so i can do it on my S

I had the same problem when I swapped out my rotors. The damn screws are so freaking soft and they put so much damn locktite on them that the screw head just stripped out. I had to drill out all of the screws on both front rotors with some kind of kit that my friend had, which would grab the screw threads and pull it out after you drilled out the screw.

They don't use any locktite on them. That's just what you get with fasteners in a highly corrosive environment if they sit untouched for several years.
