I just got my Evo and decided to fix up a few things on my previous beater before I give it back to my parents. I'm trying to unscrew these screws holding on to the brake disc but they won't come off. I've tried plenty of WD40, drilling them out (it's so tight that my drill is useless), impact drivers, and a blow torch but they refuse to budge. Any advice at this point would be much appreciated as I'm out of ideas. Thanks.

 

is it a honda? Are you talking about the 2 philips screw that's holding the disc to the hub?? Well, if you've tried drilling it, you've probably destroyed the screw head. Only option left is to go all the way with the drilling. use a bigger bit.

 

Yes it is a Honda Accord '98. There are still several screws that I haven't drilled yet so I'm hoping there's a better way than drilling them all out.

 

bump for desperation

 

you might try getting an impact driver.

what it is is a screw driver that is made to be hit with a hammer. its got a slight bit of give so that the impact of hitting it with a hammer is distributed. This sends a shock through the screw and helps loosen up stuck bolts.

something like this.

also, if you do get this tool when you hit the back of the driver with the hammer, be sure to twist the driver in the direction to loosen the screws.

 

if its actually rusted u can also try PB blast its in a yellow can soak it for 10 15 min and give it a shot. found it to work better then wd40
