2 screws on rear rotor...

[809king]

i cant remove the 2 screws holding the rotor... i tried everything, hitin it with a hammer and turning it with a screwdriver at the same time, tried heating up the screw, nd i tried wd40.. nothing worked

any advice

drill out the head of it, so you can get the rotor off. then use vice grips to remove the stud that remains... if your new rotors didnt come with new screws, put in an order ASAP for a few new ones from the dealership so youll have them in time for the reinstall.

You don't really need those screws. The torque from the lugnuts should hold the rotor to the hub just fine.

i wouldn't have used heat, try dry ice... it shrinks the metal allowing for space to turn. trust me it works. either way... good luck.

those are all good ideas but i think im goin to take the g mans idea

[xkjnboix]

i like the dry ice idea. i havent heard or seen that one yet. let us know how it works. alot of friends say drown each screw in wd-40 or pb blaster for 24-48 hours applying more when u think about it haha GL ill be doing this soon

do what g-man said, then buy yourself the screws later.

they sell a impact driver set just for those screws. the set is not expensive at all just buy that and take it off. useing a hammer and a screwdriver wont work you have to have a impact driver set to do it right.

the lugnuts might hold it on good but i have seen lug nuts get lose and if that happens it wont be good i would put the screws back in dont do your brake system half ass.

Thoes screws just hold the rotor on the car when its at the factory so they dont fall off... You dont need them really the wheel holds the rotor on not the little cheap screws.

Lol, I used an air hammer to turn my screws out. They were extremely rusted on.
