What's up, guys? I'm Andy from 1A Auto. In this video, I'm going to give you a couple tips on how you can get this screw out of the rotor. They hold the rotor on and sometimes they can be difficult. If you need any parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head on over to 1AAuto.com.
A lot of times when these are rusted in there, you can try to loosen them up and before you strip anything out, just take a punch and a hammer. We'll just give it a tap. That's going to break free any of the rust and loosen up the screw, so it'll make it easier to come out. You can do it this way, just like that.
Also, if you have a air hammer, you can take the air hammer and just vibrate it a little. Just go around like that. It's going to help loosen it up. You can try using the impact driver. Just slide the bit in there. Take a hammer. You're just going to hold it so you've got pressure going to the left. Give it a tap.
And if it still doesn't work, what I like to do is use a 3/8 air gun and just slowly tap it, and a lot of times it comes right out.
