When i am doing someone brakes if that screw come out easy i put it back in but if it hard to get out i put it in trash.

[@RBTheMechanic]

lol I guess that’s good

[@grandinosour]

Those screws are installed at the factory to hold the disc in place as the car continues down the assembly line, The wheels are not installed until near the end of the line and the installation will go faster if the discs are straight. On some cars, the disc is mounted to the hub before the hub is attached to the suspension assembly and before the axle shaft is installed. This can be treated as just a shipping bolt and tossed away when removed.

Yup

More so, to keep them from falling on the workers' feet until the brake caliper and the pads are bolted down and hold it in place. These do have a habit of seizing up if the last tech didn't bother to put some anti seize there. If you strip one out, use either a gator bit or just drill off the head. Make sure the new rotor fits over the nub so you don't have a comeback for vibration lol

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@dagamer667 true make certain good sense

[@ProJanitor]

I agree with what you said because there are vehicles that don’t even accommodate those specific screws.

[@MrGerryoc]

Its so if your wheel falls off you still have brakes lol

[@RBTheMechanic]

[@alexmerlin9211]

[@RBTheMechanic]

You're welcome!

[@tyronesmith3812]

Those screws just increase the customer’s wait time

[@matthewtarka2804]

and expense......

[@Poets04]

Why are you installing that rotor dry on the hub??? Rust belt or not, put some quality anti-seize in between. Future you or the next guy/gal will appreciate it!

[@RBTheMechanic]

Customer wants to pay labor only and got his own meterial did he bring the antisize?
