So How do I get this out, I didn't do it, I noticed when I was painting my calipers today when I went to turn them to finish the bottom after drying, they got stuck a little bit before moving freely but only on one side.

I inspected the holding screws and found that one head is broken off on the side that its fitting a little snugger then the other side and I'm wondering how do I get the rest of the screw out so i can replace with a new one any ideas?

looks as if its doing nothing for the rotor cause i think this is the reason the rotor is a little harder on one side to slide past the brake pad.

 

Do need to remove the rotor? If not leave it alone. You can always drill it out.

 

Many people don't even put those screws back in after a brake job.

 

Just drill the rest of the head off if you need to get the rotor off. If you don't have to remove it then don't even worry about it. That screw is not causing your rotor to be tighter on one side vs. the other. Remember, you wheel gets torqued down directly to that brake rotor.

 

ahh true

yeh the rotor doesnt need replacing i just thought about it when i seen it and figured it was worth posting for when i do goto change it so there wouldnt be any confusion or problem.

thanks

 

ya i know a lot of people how loses the screws or forget to but them back on and there cars r fine

 

The screw is not needed. However, if it bothers you, drill it out and replace it.

 

the purpose of the screw is to hold the rotors on the car when going down the assembly line... so you shouldnt have to worry about it...
