im taking off stock rotors and puting on cross drilled and slotted rotors. my problem is i did the driver side cake now the passanger side the axel nutt stripped and 2 phillips head bolts are striped. how would i take them off or go about geting them lose, can someone please help me its a 95 honda civic ex 2 dr coupe. thanks in advanced honda tech members.

hey also if i cant get this rotor off and brake setup and the other side is done . would it hurt the car if she had one side done and not the other? also the cross drilled and slotted are oem fit. so like i said would this hurt the car if i can only do one side for now. even if it looked stupid till i find a away to get this other side off?

 

usually you would use an impact driver to remove these screws.. now it sounds like you may need to drill it out

 

ok thanks thats what im trying to do on the screws and just rip the rotor off .. but i need to get the axel nutt free first.

It won't hurt it at all. The most it will do it pull to one side slightly when braking.

 

why did you remove the axle nut?

 

thats what i was going to ask you dont need to take that off to replace the rotor

Take a dremel with a metal cutting wheel and cut a notch in the middle of the head of the screw and use a flat head screwdriver to get it out

I had to do this too, but when I got new screws I bought allen heads instead of POS phillips

 

i didnt think u had to take the axle nut off on honda's just the caliper and the two screws.. i never put the screws back in... thats me though

 

you guys are right.. dont have to take the axel nutt off .. sorry someon gave me wrong info on it.. but its all done and taken care of.. thanks once again everyone.
