[quote name='89 Rag' date='Mar 26 2005, 09:33 PM']A dead-blow imact driver with a #4 philips head will pop those screws right out, although i'm don't know why the rotors would need to come off to do a brake job.

Then you've never done a proper brake job unless you have a nice on car rotor turning equip.
I am going to slotted rotors all the way around

I bought new rotors for the car, once it needs service the car, along with pick-up, will be serviced at the brake shop, it's too inexpensive not to have them do it.

[quote name='phinsup' date='Mar 26 2005, 05:01 PM']I swear to got I wanna shoot the **********er that designed that setup, the two phillips screws holding the rotor on is a god damn joke.... so after a days worth of fun, i need those two screws and a new hub. Why the hell aren't they just held on with the lug nuts like every other rotor known too man.
Unless I just cut one fo the screws out of the system I am fucked because the one is snapped off and I cant even drill it out (ez snapped too).
Soo anyone got a 5 lug front hub?

phinsup, thoughs 2 screws are only there to hold the rotors on the car during assembly, yes they can be drilled out very easy as they are made of a very soft steel, i know cause with the amount of brake problems on the mazda 6 i drill and remove them damn same screws as the rx7 some times 10 times a day. i rune without them screws on my fc and have never had any problems.
