retaining screws in the hub......need em or not
do I need the retaining screws that go through my rotor and into my hub??
When i replaced my rotors yesterday those screws were not coming out.
I tried an impact wrench (the kind you hit with a hammer and it turns a little)
I tried torching the **** out of them and then trying the impact wrench.
So i came to the conclusion that i couldn't get them out, so i drilled them out.
Now do I need those or could i get by without

Not really because the caliber (sp?) keeps the rotar in. But i would (this is me personally) go down to a hardware store and replace them and throw the screws in. Just to be safe cause i hate being unsure with things like that.

Yup: to keep the rotor flush with the hub when you take your wheel off.

You'd be surprised how much Honda charges for pieces like that.

Excellent advice.

thanks for the responses. I'm going to drill them out of the hub today and put new screws in. I'm probably going to have to re-thread them, but o-well
thanks again
thanks again

I've been running without them.. doesn't hurt as long as your wheels stay on the car. If your wheels come off while you're driving I'd imagine you'd have other things on your mind at that time.

You don't need them. I don't run any up front (as my rotors don't have holes in the right spots) and I'm not running them in the back anymore either.
