This isnt my week first i break a wheel stud now while trying to fix it, I strip both philips screws that hold the rotor to the hub. The screws stripped with very minimal effort. It is by far the most brittle material I have ever encountered. Maybe all the heat from the road raing events fried them or something. Anyways does anyone have any suggestions on how to take the screws out? Im going to try those craftsman stripped screw removing bits, but I doubt they will work since the screws just crumble.

 

No don't use those. I don't know about everyone else but they didn't do sh_t for me. Go to Sears Hardware or some other hardware store and purchase an Easy-Out(sp?). You will need to drill a hole into the screw first with a smaller drill then take an easy-out and tap handle and screw it into the hole you just drilled until it backs the stripped screw out. Basically an easy-out looks like a reversed thread tool (a.k.a. tap). There are different sizes so have someone help you pick the right size. Hope this helps.

 

you need an impact screwdriver, it is dual purpose it will tighten and loosen when hit with a hammer

which rotors were you removing? what year car?

 

umm no dont do that...go get a reverse socket for stripped bolts...trust me it works and you might even be able to save those screws. ive done that before!

 

You need specail tools to remove the + screw on the rotor thingie.
turst me..my friend was at shop to install brembo fattie brake upgrade
