On the disc break the little circle screw that helps you remove the rotor, is kinda stripped, and suggestions on how to get it out?

I have an impact gun but dont think that would help any. might do more damage. any suggestions would be appreciated.

Get an impact screwdriver from Sears.

 

^^ yeah. Don't try to get it out with a regular screwdriver, you'll just mess it up more. The impact driver is like $15.

 

Yup. You gotta use an impact driver. If it's too far stripped, try cutting a slot with like a cutoff wheel or something for the impact drive tip to fit in better.

 

Drill it out and grind it flush with the spindle. Don't worry about replacing it. IMO, i believe they are there to keep disc's from falling off during car production.

 

i drill them out also...

 

thanks guys

 

Use screw extractor

 

Yeah, I don't see how they could come off as long as your wheel is still attached to the car. And frannkly, if my wheel falls off I am pretty sure I will be worried about other things.

 

Depending on just HOW bad it is... you might be able to get away with heat. I had the same problem on another car (think it was my Mx-6 or a buddies Del Slow) and we ended up quitting before we beat the screw up too much. We hit it with a torch for a bit, and it worked like a charm.

Not sure what condition your screw is in, but this might help you out a bit. Just make sure you don't slop fluid on it first, or else you may have a little "poof" to go along with the heating.

And if that doesn't work, I'd skip the impact and go straight with an Ez-out and a high quality drill bit.

 

Pass with the torch if not experienced, only because you have a chance of damaging the hub bearing if you don't torch it right.

i get those scred off with a air chisel gun every time, it only puts a small indent on the screw. but even then you need to know how to angle the tool...

so just spend the 15 dollars and get it done with the impact screw driver..
