OK, need to remove the rotor. I took of the caliper/brakes. Now the 2 Philips head screws are stuck. Are these reverse threads? I did soak them with penetrating oil. And beat them with a hammer to try and loosen them up but with no luck. Pretty close to being stripped out I got one more shot and then Ill drill them out. If I do anyone know the screw thread size and length?

 

I used an impact screwdriver and they are not reverse threads.

 

You need an impact screwdriver, a normal one will not work 9 out of 10 times.

 

ive used one of those cheapey screwdrivers with the different tips with a handle that will bend, like a pistol grip, and put a #3 phillips in it, and walked around pick-n-pull and gotten a handful of those screws, and only stripped one with it. and ive probably broken a dozen tips in my impact screwdriver.

 

yea I've also used just a #3 phillips tip in a 1/4 inch socket 3/8 drive in a 3/8 ratchet and broken them loose. However I have also had to drill them out before too.

 

maybe drop $20 and get a set of those Grabit things. they advertise them on tv, but ive seen them in hardware stores too. they seem like they would work better than most easy outs.

 

i ended up jus drilling them out

 

yep, drilled em out. Now im trying to break that axle nut off. I think they used super glue. ( I did take out the dimple ).

 

The axle nut is torqued to 134 lb-ft. Use a 24 inch breaker bar to remove it.

 

or hammer the hell out of it with a big impact wrench.
