JohnO Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 It looks like there is a set screw. It is rusted in there. Is it necessary to remove the set screw as the rotor will not come off? I tried banging on the rotor with a hammer but it won't budge. Needless to say the rotors are rusted as well. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

avgwarhawk Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 The screw needs to be removed. Impact driver should be used. Drill the head off of the screw if the impact driver does not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmTee Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Or, simply drill out the head. With the wheel installed, there's really no need for those screws. Invert and thread a lug nut on one of the wheel studs if you need to hold the rotor in place while working on the brakes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
