This has been an ongoing dilemma for me with my car. I am trying to wokr on my rear brakes. 96 ex 4dr allwheel discs and im trying to get one of the rotor retaing screws out of the rotor and well the part where u grip with a phillips head socket is gone and im trying to drill into it and get it out but i can't i breeak off drill bits and i can drill into it. Its like a polished little slug in the rotor. I have use all manner of screw extrators from craftsman i got one screw out but now this second one is just frreakin rediculus!! I can't get a drill bit to bitew in a and strart digging at all and i don't want to have to getra new rear spindle !!!

 

Get a chisel and knock the head off the screw.I usually grind the head off but I don't know if you have access to one.I don't reuse them.They just hold the rotor in place when the wheel is off.

the head of the screw is already gone and i can't get the threaded part out of the rotor!!!

If its not going to fall out than just leave it there.The rotor should come off over whats left of the screw.

see thats the thing the threads are still in the rotor so there is no way for it to move at all. Not a very big screw but still its holding tight

 

I assume the accord is like the civic.The civic uses a small (6mm I think) flat head screw that goes thru the rotor and threads into the hub.In a civic if the head comes off the screw you can just hammer the rotor off the hub.I assume your replacing the rotor.
