Rotor screws stripped
So I was trying to replace my rotors and I stripped the two screws that hold it on. Is there any other way I can go about taking this off without having to drill the screws out? And if I replace the screws, where can I find these screws besides the dealership. Thanks

Just drill the head off, pull the rotor off. Grab the stub of the screw with some pliers and un screw it. If you cant do it with pliers you could cut and grind the screw flush to the hub.

Re: (Yambor)
Forget the drilling and all that stuff...
Get a center punch. (Chisel type)
Then with a big boy hammer, make an indentation on one corner of the screw.
After that, you angle the center punch and hit it (with some taps) so that you turn the screw counter clockwise.
In a nutshell it will be something like this...

Re: Rotor screws stripped (dcdcdc)
btw, i would put then back. Honda didnt put them on there because they thought it looked cute. They'll do anything to save a buck or two, trust me.

I heard from the techs at Honda that they put them in there during production to keep the rotor in place. When you put your wheels on the wheel will hold the rotor on so it isnt really necessary... but at $.30 a pop I guess it doesnt really matter. lol

Re: (r573)
When mine stripped on me WITH the impact screw driver, i took my grinder and made a BIG slot in them so i could stick the biggest flat head screw driver i had in them. With the bigger flathead screwdriver, they came out pretty easy.

Re: Rotor screws stripped (Slo Cord)
Not really important considering they're supposed to hold your rotor in place. When you tighten your lug nuts, it does the same thing.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but civics didn't come with those screws.

Re: Rotor screws stripped (dcdcdc)
Drill it, i did it for both my fronts, the thread size is 6mm fine. You can buy them at home depot, just use ANTI SEIZED grease so this wont happend on the future. use it on ur lugs also

Most cars do not have any screws at all, I did the brakes on my wifes 4runner, guess what no screws. They are there for production, to hold the rotors before the caliper and wheels are on. Once the wheel is on, and the lug nuts are tight it cant go anywhere.

As long as it's not totally stripped, yes, that's the thing to use. You can get one at Sears or any good auto parts store. It looks like a screwdriver, but it's designed to be hit with a hammer/mallet which makes it turn ever so slightly, while the hammer/mallet force is applying pressure on the screw.
