Dude, $40 is pretty cheap for all 4. If you want cheaper, jack your car up and do it your self.

$40 is cheap even for the 2 fronts. Otherwise go spend $20 on an impact screwdriver to get those screws off.

Drill it out, its not that big of a deal.

1.) Use a hole punch and start a small inclusion in the center of the screw.
2.) Get the appropriate sized drill bit and start drilling out.
3.) The head of the screw will come off, do this for both screws if need.
4.) Hit the old rotor with a rubber hammer till it comes off.
5.) Once the rotor is off, use a pair of vice grips to turn the remainder of the screw out.


ITS EASY

I remember someone saying the budget impact screwdrivers didn't work and that he used a craftsman one and the screw came out.
