what size screw extractor for rotor screws?
EDIT: nevermind that. I just searched and found info that says I can just drill the screw and remove the rotor with the screw stil in it. how would I do that? do i just drill straight through the entire screw?
Nevermind this whole post, my nrakes totally went out and I hit a telephone pole at about 50mph, no more prelude. and it was my first car

dont drill it. best thing to do is use 2 ball end hammers. place the ball end of one hammer on the screw then smack the flat end of it a few times with the other hammer. it should just loosen it up enough to take it out with a screwdriver. i used to work at a brake shop ive done it a million times. or you can use a special tool, i forgot what it is called i think its called an impact driver? it has a socket end one side so you can put a screwdriver tipped socket on it, and the other end is flat and its like spring loaded. you put it on the screw and smack it and it will turn the screw and break the rust.

If you don't have the impact driver, you can just use a bit that fits into the screw head, and pound the crap out of it with a hammer until you've sunk the bit into the screw. Use something to turn that bit. I wouldn't drill, personally.

yeah that would work too, i always thought the screws in the rotor design was kind of stupid but its nice when you install the new rotor because it keeps it in place

Re: (91preyludesi)
I used an impact driver on mine. Came out decently easy, thats that route I would take. I have also drilled them out before but I hate drilling so I avoid it.

thats the problem, mine are so freaking rusted that the impact driver stripped the head of the screw. the rust is basicly fused to the rotor now. I just tried drilling it, the screw extractor even broke trying to pull it out. any other suggestions, I'm clueless and I dont have the money to pay a shop to do it. over 200 bucks

really, the only reason they have those screws is to hold the rotor on while the caliper is off. just drill em out and save yourself the time. thats my $0.02
