Is the rear rotor held on to the hub by these two screws at this point?
I have Soaked/Heated/Hammered but the screws aren't budging. Am I missing something here??? My guess is they are rusted in place... I have a torch with a rosebud tip, didn't heat the rotor to red thinking that I could possibly warp the rotor...so I just went close to red... Do I have to drill these and then tap them out? Thank You, Cass |

Could try this impact driver. Hammer the handle and the bit will twist in direction you want while pushing the tip in to prevent rounding.

I use them in my air impact and it works great. Just keep a lot of pressure against the screw head and keep it square. I tried to remove some large Philips head screws from a Karmann Ghia door hinge using the impact tool and did nothing more than scar a few. Got pissed off and put the bit in my 1/2" air impact wrench and Bingo they all backed out. Even the few I scarred. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
