The MOD Father
Anyone ever been able to unscrew the small security screw in the brake rotor by hand?
I remember having to belt the crap out of the two on my Green one with an impact driver.
(which after 10 years I cant find again),,, so do I go and buy another driver or try my luck?

SupporterI had to tap mine out with a punch and a hammer. Use a pin punch and put it towards the edge of the screw and tap it around until it comes out. This was the only way to get them out as they were flogged out before i even started, i then went to the shop and got some new screws that use an allen key

I think I might've belted an easy-out into mine and used that as at the time my impact driver was sitting in Brisvegas under a chiller....
and FWIW I think they are Pozidrive and not a Phillips head.
[edit] and I'd pre sprayed them with Inox too and let soak.

SubscriberOne needed a impact screw driver, the other cane out by hand. Luck of the draw.

Hmm,i wish the rears on the D4 were like the D2 to replace....
Cynical Moi?
I know not of the screw you speak of, but I have found over many years that a SLIGHT tighten first often works & when it is being replaced a 'handful'/wipe of NeverSeez or similar for the possible next time, although lubrication on a security screw/bolt may not necessarily be the best avenue to follow.

They are a countersunk pozidrive screw that locates that disc rotor on the hub.
I belted mine with a BFH and my #3 Phillips driver and tried an 18" shifter on the driver but it wasn't enough, hence bludgeoning an Ezy out into the little bastard, which worked!
AT REST
Next time substitute the #3 with an 8-10mm flat ended pin punch, walloped firmly, works a treat.Hey Des,

SubscriberI drilled the head off with a 13mm drill bit then unscrewed it with a pair of pliers. Ended up doing all 5 like this (handbreak also). I haven’t replaced them as I can’t see why you need to. The rims hold the rotors in place.
