After breaking off two drill bits in the rotor retaining screws, I was finally able to get this thing off by cutting around it.



However, I cut the slightest bit into the hub. Am I going to encounter any balancing problems with the hub because of these?





I didn't even realize I could be throwing off the balance of the hub possibly. Should I be worried are those small cuts no big deal?

 

Holy crap did you do it the hard way! The screws are really soft and should have been nowhere nead that difficult to drill out. Did you drill the heads out and use the jack screws, or did you try to drill through the hub?

 

Well I had a couple drill bits break off in the screws. So it was my only choice. I cut around the screws with a grinder. So its all good now.

 

That amount of material so close to the center of rotation should not make any differnece at all.

 

an impact screwdriver is what you need so that doesnt happen again. but congrats on getting it off, thats a serious cut.
