Remove tire, REmove caliper and the 2 screws behind the rotor. Than Remove the two screws in front. (Get a good screw driver, not a calamina one.)

A impact screwdriver works well on the screws that hold the rotors on, you can pick one up at any autoparts store for around 25.00 bucks or so.

if you can't get those screws undone and you don't want to strip them, use some WD-40. Let it set in there for a couple of minutes, then give it another try. Works wonders.

good luck,

after you remove your caliper, hit the old rotor with a rubber mallet, no reason to use an impact screwdriver.. lol thats funny...

just hit it a couple times and the screws will be lose enough to unscrew by hand...

if you use an impact screw driver, youll probably strip the screw!!! and that would suck!

i don't think you know what an impact screwdriver is. It's not funny, and impact screwdriver is the best tool for the job imo

You really should use an impact screwdriver! I had no luck getting mine off with a hammer + screwdriver + WD40.

With the impact, it is cake!

Absolutely. If you've done the job WITH one, you'll never do it WITHOUT one again. Not to mention, my $18 Craftsmen kit came with a socket adapter so that I can us it on stuck nuts and bolts too. Great tool, makes life a lot easier.

I guess some people, like myself, were getting confused. I thought you were talking about the air powered impact wrech.

I would definitely agree in getting an impact driver to do the job. That's what they are for.

good luck,

aj
