The purpose of these screws is simply to instill as much pain as possible for the DIYer. Thanks for the video!

I bought one of those Shake N' Break pneumatic fastener removers. Actually I got the Lisle brand version of it. It works awesome for those rotor screws. I highly recommend checking it out if you do work on your vehicles like I do.

These screws piss me off. Turns a quick job into something that can take a while, don't have a drill bit handy so I have to put off this until I have more time

Same here. My car is sitting in the garage since my 20 minute job just turned into an overnighter since I don't have a fucking drill. I never put these damn things back on, they serve 0 purpose other than pissing mechanics and owners off

It's clear the automaker designed this to be repaired at an auto shop because 90% of rotors do not come with this useless screw in them because the lug nuts will hold the rotors in place. Thanks for the informative video 👋.

@johnmichaelgavin3617 4 года назад

no need for them

@ShinobiXRevived 3 года назад

It’s not a design flaw. The only reason they are there is for the assembly line when they manufacture the car they need the screws to put the car together. They serve no other function. That’s why they seem like there is no purpose, because that’s the only purpose.

@troyfall6573 6 лет назад

I used a different method on my acrua tl and my parents equinox. If the retaining screw stripped or rusted in there then just use a nail punch and place it at the outer edge of the screw. tap with a hammer and within 20 seconds i was able to get the screw to turn on both cars. It slightly deforms the outer edge of the screw but I was able to still use in both cases. Do a search on seized rotor screw.

Nice video. I had to drill mine out on an Accord. I got a real nice big OA but thought that drilling it out worked better. I reuse the screws but put anti seize on them so next time they screw out with out any issues, normally. But I live in WI and we have the rust issues too. All that precipitation made those rotors mad rusty.

@dougwigley8072 Год назад

Any Asian brand car does not use Phillips screws although they appear to be Phillips. They are Japanese Industrial Standard screws and require a JIS screwdriver to remove without stripping the head. The JIS screwdriver does not have a sharp point like that of the Phillips and the bevels are much shorter. You can order the JIS on Amazon. I hope this helps.

I've watched numerous video's where guys spend lots of time getting those out. Don't spend more than two minutes on them before going for the drill. They are not needed and serve no purpose. They were only there to hold the rotor in place going down the assembly line. Drill 'em and be done with it.

@@klowny1969 yepper.. Those stuck rusted threads are probably the cause.. I think I should have hit it with the hammer and a punch first and penetrating oil first before using the hand impact to spare every ft/lb of torque I could.. Which probably caused the bit to sheer off cause it was too much torque for it to handle... And I had that same bit for years.
