HELP!!! rotor screw is f'd!
My impact screwdriver bit broke into the rotor screw!!!
I purchased some rotoras from Excelerate and I tried to install them this weekend. I used my impact screwdriver to remove the 2 screws holding the rotors. The screw was on there so tight, that it broke the impact screwdriver bit...INSIDE the screw head.
WTF do i do!?! I tried to drill out the screw...but the hardened bit (that's jammed inside the screw head) is preventing my drill from really being able to work...

I agree with CleanCL, a screw extraction bit is your best bet. They sell 'em at Sears and most hardware stores...they saved me lots of time and effort. Once removed there's no need to replace it. It doesn't really serve a purpose other than holding the rotor in place when installing new ones.

taking a ball peen hammer and placing it on the screw(rounded end), then hitting it with another hammer first will make them come out much easier.
