The two little screws holding the rotors on the car are stripped terribly... whomever replaced them last time apparently did not use right size phillips head...

I'm pretty damn poor right now, so whats the cheapest way to remove the rotors from the car???

When me and my buddy did the rotors on his girls car we ran into a similar problem, so we just kinda bashed them right off the car... they broke around the lug bolts and they just came right off... will that work with mine??? i believe the ones on the talon were iron, are ours the same??? if i can break them off i can just use vise grips to twist off the screws after the rotors are off...

I know an easy out will work, and i do have new screws from honda to replace the stripped ones, but like i said im broke and have no drill... how much does an easy out cost???

let me know...

 

for me i drilled off the heads, or you can use an impact driver...

i didnt put the new screws in mine, and its fine...

 

drilled the heads off? im not following? pardon if its obvious...

i don't have an impact driver...

 

take a drill, find a drillbit about the size of the head of the screw...drill...

i didnt do the brakes on that TG btw, it was the owner before me if thats the car you are doing the brakes on..

 

nah man this is on my yellow junker... the green one will be road ready soon... she str8 again...

drill the heads off then twist out pieces with vise??? or did you just leave them that way???

 

Why don't you go to sears and get the easy out bits. It removes stripped screws. It runs about $25 cnd.

 

i just left the rest of the screw in...

the rotors go straight when you torque you wheel and should be fine...

 

I put a screw driver in it and hit it with a hammer a couple so it is in there snug and then turn. Or you can hit the screw driver and turn at the same time it'll kinda shake and make it easier to move.

 

^^^ I did the same thing that vtecn8ive did. I took a screwdriver and a hammer and then I tapped it lightly with a hammer to make the screwdriver seat into the screw. Only thing that i did different was, I used a power drill (screw driver) to take it out faster.

 

i was thinking about it after i responded to your post gator and figured the wheel would pin them str8 after being torqued on... cool deal...

I've used them and they actually work pretty good. You could also weld a nut on the bolt and untightend that way done that before also.

 

I used an impact screwdriver on mine, hit it a couple of times with a mallet and it it comes right out.

 

i got it... actually used a dremel and a cutting disc and cut the head off... pain in da **** but i got it...


thanks for all the suggestions...

 

yea i was ginna say.
1. impact driver
2. drill it.

u don't need those gay screws anyways....

 

yeah I was told that they only use those screws to hold the rotors on during the assembly line.

 

heat the bolts and then notice that you have space for 2 screws to put on your rotor. THose bolts won't go far as you can see the spindle. Just force them in a bit, not too much 'cose you'll crack the rotor.

Back those off and it should come off with sears bits. I get my drums off in the rear just with those 2 bolts.

Hope it makes sense.

 

if you have a dremel you could always dremel a line so you can use a flathead

 

I always drill them out at the junkyard. Takes about 30 seconds per side.
