I'm trying to do my rear rotors and pads, got stuck trying to remove the 2 screws that hold the rotor on. They're stuck as anything.

Any tips for removing them?

go to your local hardware store and pickup a impact screw driver. looks like this:



make sure u have it twisted to the correct way (tighten or loosen setting) and use a hammer to pound the impact screw driver to loosen the screws.

I figured that's what I would be told, just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything better.

I want to beat senseless whomever decided to use screws. Most other makes just have them freestandng since the wheel assembly holds it all together.

I remember when I tried to get the screws out, I stripped the head right off. Dam screws were so tight!

The screws are great when you are reinstalling the caliper brackets then the rotor is not flopping around when you try and line up the bolts. I usually screw them on lightly, then remove them once I have everything put back together. Then there are the rotors on the 90-97 Accords

If you need some rotor screws they're not hard to find. But PM me your address and I'll send ya a couple...

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm fine (they were re-usable)

One side is slightly stripped, but they loosened and tightened no problem after about 3-5 mins with the impact driver and the other side was a LOT easier. Just put a dab of anti seize on them and hand tightened them back up (no impact driver to tighten).

Most other cars just have the wheel assembly holding the rotor in place (from what I've seen).

Thanks to all for the help.
