You're the only RUclipsr that was able to break this down without over complicating the process. All the other guys were recommending advanced tools. New subscriber!
I found myself in that horrible position of not able to get the screw out, even though i have purchased the JIS screw driver for this purpose (however, we live in the rust belt and i pounded on that screw for 30 min with no success). Your method worked flawlessly on two wheels- the video you made was a god send! thank you for taking the time to share. You made a difference in my life today :) thank you sir.
I'm gonna need you to do more tutorials bro because this one was one of the easiest explanations to understand. Watched alot of these vids and the clarity from this one.... 👏🏾
Man this video is awesome! It only took me 5 seconds to get the screw out using this method. Saved me sooo much time and a small panic attack lol. Thank you!
Thank You very much for the best video which explains the easy and cost effective method of removing stripped screw from a rotor. As it explained, I removed easily a screw from centrifugal filter of my passion pro bike. I just spent Rs.50 only to buy the metal punch.
I appreciate you sharing this. Everyone panics and buys and impact driver that's 50/50. I put penetrating oil on the day before. Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it. Great one man video. Minneapolis
I couldn't get the screws out of rotor 2002 Odyssey took all nite of the night working under the truck was a headache. I'm going to try your method in a little bit . I'll respond back . I'm excited I think it will work.
Good news I got both screws out of the worst rotor that I had to change the one that didn't have a warning tab on them and she ran it down to the rivet rotor
This solution is, in it's way, is a good one. However, the problems removing the screws is likely because people assume that these are "phillips" screws -- they're NOT. They're JIS screws, which have an important difference, namely, a different internal configuration. There is another video that describes this and the correct tool needed. This also applies to all the other seemingly phillips screws used throughout the vehicles.
The thing to bear in mind is despite the size of the head of the screw which seems to be #3, it is REALLY a #2 bore. People use #3 by mistake and strip the head, while a #2 gets better metal to metal contact deeper into the screw. Any impact #2 will do it, but specifically a Japanese impact #2 because of its tip angle, and since all their trim screws are the same bore, you can use it on other parts without the impact feature. It runs about $17 or less but worth the investment for Asian car repairs. But this is not the ONLY way to remove those screws. Before doing this very unique dislodge, first jar the entire housing with a mallet to loosen rust at the bottom of the thread. Apply mallet impact over the screw or to one side of it, then use an impact #2 to work it out of its threads. Absolutely put a new screw back in with anti-seize because the role of that little screw isn't to keep the rotor on ... it is to keep shimmy from happening around that 1-2 mm space between stud and rotor hole and gives Asian cars that smooth high speed control. When they're left out, the front end vibrates at 60-80 mph and you can feel it through the steering wheel. The back end brakes wear out faster from this shimmy. That doesn't negate the fact that getting them out is a pain in the a$$ when they're rusted in from the manufacturer. But once out, REPLACE THEM, and do it with anti-seize so you don't have that problem next time. A pack of 10 runs about $8 on AMZ.
Those are not phillips head screws. They are Japanese Industrial screws. They look like Phillips heads, but they are different. You need a Japanese Industrial Screwdriver/Impact driver. I had a hard time removing these as well and the Honda dealership educated me. I bought the impact driver and they came out extremely easy, I mean I had to wack it a few times but it came out pretty easy.
I used a very thin titanium bit and drilled a small hole in the center of that JIS nut. Only then did my Vessel impact screwdriver have the ability to loosen the nut. Once again use a thin bit right through the center_ it allows the threads to loosen when hit.
Great job but have you ever tried putting back the lug nuts and tighten them back on, this removes the pressure of the rotor screws then simply unscrew, we did this at the dealership at times. Peace and God Bless
Do we really need those two screws to hold the rotor in place. It appears that the lug nuts hold the wheel and everything together. Is there a safety concern for not using those two screws?
@@Mechaniclyfe thank you so much ! I’m doing my rotors change today but taking to a shop . Imma tell them not to put that shit that way I will do it by myself .
The proper way to remove these screw is with a JIS screwdriver and not with impact or a punch,these special screws are from Japan and called Japan Industrial Screws and is different from your ordinary Phillips screw head
Those screws are Japanese Industrial Screws. They look like Phillips heads but are different. A Phillips head fits in there but not securely and that's why it rounds off. You need a Japanese Industrial Impact/Screwdriver. Just type in JIS screwdriver in ebay and it will pop up. It's a number 3 to get those screws out. That's what Honda told me. I bought that screw driver and on my 20 year old rotor's I removed both rotors in 5 min. I did 4 good wacks on each screw and they broke loose.
Buy a 1/4 drill bit and #3 philips or the JIS. You may get lucky and you can get it out with the bit. If not, you have the drill. Smack the crap out of the screw before attempting.
Yup, the key is the hammer. I bought a heavy duty one like 5lbs and wacked the shit out of it. 4 wacks on each screw and they broke loose. That JIS number 3 is an awesome screwdriver/impact driver.
Amazing how many people listen to so called experts like you. Right away at 20 seconds in you were wrong. "the proper tool to use" Wrong! The rotor screw on the honda is not a Philipps screw. That why so many have problems and break the screws and do what you are doing. That screw is a Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) screw. Get a Vessel JIS impact screwdriver # 3. Spray the rotor screws first with what ever you prefer help loosen things, then use the JIS screw driver hit a several times with a hammer and it will come out. Don't need all these tools the so called experts use. Just use the proper JIS screwdriver #3 and a hammer. (the Vessel Megadora Impacta screwdriver has the metal end to hit with a hammer)

Glad it worked out for you and it helped
This really works, so easy! I already know about breaking the rust seal, this is the next step, worked first time.
Outstanding Dude! Love your calm, patient presentation. Let me know if any houses come up for sale near you...I think I need you as a neighbor!😉
I got a room for rent lol

Bro this video really did help. Thank you for putting this video together and uploading it
No worries glad it helped
Maaaaaaaaan this worked like a charm! This saved me so much time!
Thanks man glad it helped
I have also used torx bitts to get out rounded out Allen bolt. Thanks for the info
Great video. About to do a DIY shortly,
Hopefully won’t need it.
Remember last time went through hell to get them off

What screwdriver your using is irrelevant when the screw is RUSTED in.
The thing to bear in mind is despite the size of the head of the screw which seems to be #3, it is REALLY a #2 bore.

Thanks for the great information 👍
Thanks for this as it helped me removed on 2016 Pilot; it was a pain the butt! Pls let me know how I can send some thank you bucks!
No need to send me money, just you watching my video was good enough for me 🙏🏻
Tried it and it worked. Thanks for the advice 😊
Glad it worked out 💪🏼

Worked for me today! Thank you!
Awesome bro
Absolutely fantastic video! Thank you for sharing :)
You are very welcome
Thanks.. good video. I'll let you end of day how it goes. Great job.on instructions.
Does autozone sell that tool?
They sell a version of that tool yes
Also, do you see any issues if I just remove the scew?
No it should be fine
DAWG THIS HERE! BRAVO! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks glad it helped
Great job but have you ever tried putting back the lug nuts and tighten them back on, this removes the pressure of the rotor screws then simply unscrew, we did this at the dealership at times. Peace and God Bless
That’s a new one to me , I’ll try that one one of these days
Do we really need those two screws to hold the rotor in place. It appears that the lug nuts hold the wheel and everything together. Is there a safety concern for not using those two screws?
No not at all, those screws are only for assembly purposes .they are not needed
@@Mechaniclyfe wait so youre saying we dont need to put these stupid screws???? I have a 2019 honda accord
..
No you don’t need them they just hold the rotor for easier assembly
@@Mechaniclyfe thank you so much ! I’m doing my rotors change today but taking to a shop . Imma tell them not to put that shit that way I will do it by myself .
No worries
Very good job. Thank you so much!
My screw is rusted on, even with the JIS impact screwdriver it doesn’t move.
Pretty sick method
Thank you!
Hell yeah this worked for me!
Thank you
Yep , i will need that . I could not get it off.
did it with a broken flathead. id give you a milkion likes if i could
Bloody hell thanks ya saved my ass
The proper way to remove these screw is with a JIS screwdriver and not with impact or a punch,these special screws are from Japan and called Japan Industrial Screws and is different from your ordinary Phillips screw head
You are right
Doesn't matter what screwdriver you are using if the screw is rusted in
Those screws are a nightmare. Anyone tried heating it or Freeze spray?
Why cannot you just use a powerful Impact Wrench?
It’ll round off the Phillips
Are u just randomly watching this video for no reason? U can't have ever encountered this situation because u wouldn't have asked that question lol
@@flyguy8068 God bless you Fly Guy, we were all thinking what you said!

I tried the JIS bits ,they break just like the others
Thank you!!!
You find best way

Insane that’s what it takes. Should be a simple removal
When your tool breaks and the screw are rusted that’s what it takes
Outstanding

Correct it’s a JIS screw
The jis bit I have are also is broken
So go ahead and give me your expert opinion on how you would proceed
That was not a rusted screw at ALL
Just buy a jis impact screwdriver #3
Even when they are rounded off?
@@Mechaniclyfe Yes but use a small drill bit to drill a hole in the middle too relieve the pressure from screw.
