Anyways......Rotors are usually Free Floating rotors....meaning they dont need any screws to hold them in place.

 

you gotta know how to use an impact driver. but i never had one. i always took a center punch and a hammer. i punched where the head of the screw met the rotor. and tapped on that till the screw turned. then from there i used a regular screwdriver. never failed. if you cant do that then drill it out. its not like you need them.

 

Drill it out, leave it out.

 

just extra parts, no need for em

 

I dont think they're talking about that kind of tool. An impact screw driver is like a chisel that you hit with a hammer that will also spin the screw when hit. If you bend this thing you must have went to harbor freight. The one I have you wont be bending. Heres a pic of one.

 

Try one of these next time.

 

That's the same one that I got. It worked just fine. I'm not going to worry about putting the screws back.

 

Its like $20, good investment that most people dont make. I havent stripped one since.

 

I stripped mine, drilled them out, and never replaced them. That was 30,000 miles ago. Haven't looked back since.

 

Try using a sharp chisel and a hammer and hit it so it goes counter-clockwise. You'll destroy the screw but it will come out faster than drilling.

I have found the exact same screws at the local ACE Hardware store. Just take one in with you and measure it. Use some anti-seize next time you put it in and won't cause issues again.
