wahahaha
I finally fucked these screws off of my rear rotor......

 

Congrats ?

 

you sure fucked them...

 

Good job! and is def. the hardest part of a rotor change

 

It's weird because some people have to do so much work for those things, but mine came off in like 5 seconds.

 

I took off other 3 screws with impact driver all about 2 hits...
only this one got me headache

(the above four pics are just different angles of one single screw ha)

 

amazing that your car hasnt ever had a rotor change before

 

This is the third set of rotors actually,,,

 

and they put the rotor screws back iN!?!?!?!?

leave them out next time, and you wont have to deal with them

 

i think most people think u can just twist them off when really u NEED the right 3# star bit and a drill which will snap the screw loose.

yes they are impossible to move if u try to get them out conventionally but if u just let tools be tools. they fly off..


the only way u would have to drill them is if someone before fucked them up badly.. cause i got one screw that's pretty twisted per se and it still has no problems.

a drill is your best friend for this task. that way u can just lean all ur weight on the drill and then let it do the twisting. this is is why it works and even using the right screw head bit in a socket with more leverage power still wont do the job

 

I didnt have a bit small enough to fuck them the way you did.

 

I had to drill mine out and it was a giant pita........did not replace them.

 

I am still on my original set of rotors and they aren't even warped, running NSX Calipers for 120k miles probably prevented them from warping. At 180k miles.

 

that is fucked darkie

 

 

That's how I usually do it, and I also spray some WD40 or liquid wrench. Never fails. But yeah there's always that one time.....

 

Had to drill all of mine out. Really does not take long if you are prepared to do so ahead of time.

That being said, its not unusual to see them replaced at a dealer or service center.

 

1 rotor i had 1 screw come out easily. The other 3 either needed to be drilled or snapped off in the process. I havent had them in in over 500k miles
