Rotor bolt help
#1
Adding to my bad car week, my brother comes over with his Accord and with no rear pads left on the car. No problem, got rotors and pads and got the air in the air for what should be a 30min job. Well side one, no problem. We get to the other side, and someone has stripped the screw that holds the rotor in place. Any tricks for getting it off?

Hmm, I never keep those screws in anyways. But I'd say maybe drill it out, or I think Craftsman has the "screw-out" type things now.

Once I remove that bolt, I leave it out as well. At this point, I'd just drill it out.

I drilled it out, and did not replace the screws.
