So I had today off and decide I'll start early and do my front brakes. They really started to make some noise. I already had the front rotors and pads.
Jacked the car up, remove the wheel and unscrewed the caliper but I could not get those dam rotor screws out with a screw driver. I intentionally left them loose with some grease last time i did my brakes. I gave up reinstalled everything and went inside called a auto place to do it ( would be $104 bucks with me providing the parts ) next Saturday. I watched videos on removing it. I realize i had a cheap Harbor Freight impact tool that stop working last time i did my brakes. I dug it out and a little pounding and rotating the impact driver with a 3 lb hammer was able to remove those 4 screws. Took me longer to remove the screws than change the rotors/pads. I intentionally left the screws off. Anybody see issues with leaving the rotor screws off?
