Trying to complete the drives side suspension and brake upgrade. I can't get the phillips head screws off of the rotor. I have a torque applying screwdriver that usually works perfectly. Not this time. I've soaked them in PB Blaster beat'em with a hammer. Nothing. GGRRRR!!! Any thoughts or suggestions? I don't want to have to drill them out.

Here's the tool I use to remove the screws...

is that thing electric?

Nemesis

No, you twist it and then bang the end with a hammer.

You can sometimes use a chisel to break them loose

torch, heat it up then hit it with your screwdriver you've got there. That **** never comes off easily here in the rust belt.

That tool is called an IMPAK driver. Using a brass drift and smacking it a little, without drforming the head of the screw will work



Another alternative (last resort). Cut off the head of a Cap head screw, and weld the screw head onto the bastid screw, and use a big breakerbar/rachet to get the sumbitch out.
