Screws On The Rotors
I CAN NOT get it out~!!!
I tried with my screw driver and I just can't break it loose.
Any suggestion?
Should I have to take it to the shop?
What's the reasonable price for that?
Please help me out.
THanx in advance.

Haha I had this problem right after I had my old chrome rims put on, I didn't realize it at first because of the low speeds but some lady pulled me over and said it looked like my wheel was going to fall off... The guys at the shop were embarassed as hell that they missed that... Theyre lucky no damage was done... I saw them just take a screwdriver to it but that was after a wheel was pushed out on it.

i think he's talking about the captive screw on the non captive rotors. Grab it with vice grips and twist that suxor off there. You can also cut a flat tip into it with a hack saw.

Captives are BOLTs. There are 2 screws in the face of each rotor for help during assembly. If the phillips screws won't come out, just chisel the heads off.

i had this problem, just get a disc sanding adapter for drill (~10 bux at walmart) and grind it off, easier IMO, and i happened to have the sanding discs laying around.
