Search doesn't seem to be working for me....
I tried to change new rotors today. But I got stuck at the two small screws that hold the rotor to the car. For the life of me I couldn't get those out, nor can my power screwdrivers. I even sprayed some 'liquid wrench' to budge it, but didn't help.
Anybody know the best way to get rid of those two screws, short of drilling them out?
Thanks!

 

You need an impact driver. Unless you've already stripped the head, in which case, you'll need to drill them out.

 

i always use flatheads for those rotor screws. you could try hammering in a flathead see if it turns.

once you drill them out you don't have to put them in, most bbks don't even have them.

Drilling with a cobalt bit isn't so bad. Probably the quickest method too!

 

Not if the impact tool work's

 

Impact it if you can. Last resort=drilling.

 

Look here for the link for the tool.

i did it without an impact hammer... didnt strip the heads either. Maybe cuz i did mine with only 10,000 mi on the car?

 

Same story for me. If you do it soon enough, you can do it by hand. I no longer use those screws at all.
