Need help with front disk brake
ok my front driver side disk brake is having problems wit the screws on it that hold my wheel on. two are pushed back some how and one was accidently stripped. so can i just get new screws to put in? or will i need a whole new front disk brake. i'll most likely find a ride to the junk yard some time tomorrow but until i get it fixed i cant ride no where and thats not exactly how i want to spend my birthday. i now most you probably dont care but try to have some sympathy and please try to help me out. if any one knows a write up for changing the disk brake it would also be very appriciated. thanks ahead of time.

If I'm reading this right.... no, you do not need the screws in. The rotors will be torqued down and help in place by your wheels. You can just drill them out.
In regards to replacing your brake rotor; there is no reason to replace it unless it is scored or worn down past the factory specs.
Hope that helps at all.

U COULD DRILL THEM OUT, BUT U CAN ALSO TRY TO RETHREAD THEM. UNLESS YOUR LUG NUTS ARE STUCK ON TO YOUR DISK BRAKE. THEN U HAVE TO DRILL THEM OUT

sounds like your wheel studs are stripped. if that's the case, it's not going to be a easy job. where in orlando are you, maybe i can help? PM me!

if he's lucky enough, find another knuckle then swap them out.

Re: (philosofy1)
ok thanks for all the comments. the pic was a bunch of help. yes i am takling about number 23 the screw that holds the wheel on by fastening the lug nuts to it. two of them some how got pushed back into the disk brake and one is stripped. so i was just going to pay $25 to buy one from the junk yard and swap em out, unless there is an easier cheaper way to fix this problem?
