Replacing my rear bearing.
Taking everything off.
Down to the 2 srews that hold the rotor on.
Theyre stuck.
Ive tried tapping them with a ballpeen hammer, WD40, impact driver, and good old fashioned elbow grease but NOTHING is working and I think Im starting to round the screws out...

Any help?

Oh yeah one more thing. When I turn on my headlights, my turn signals alternate blinking from the inside light to the outside one, but when my headlights are off, they blink at the same time. I dont really care, in fact i think its kind of cool, but does anyone elses do this?

and once you drill out those rotor screws, you don't have to put them back on

A manual impact driver didn't work? That usually does the trick for me.

I used a power drill with a good quality philips bit attached, push hard against the screw and apply the torque.

Or a hammer drill.

Thanks for the help guys but I had to take it to a shop, even the impact driver wouldnt get them out. The guy had to drill them out but he only charged me 100 bucks to drill them and put on my new bearing so its not TOO bad. Now i gotta change my front axles, get new rotors and pads, etc etc etc

Sucks, I usually use an air chisel to get them off. Of course, it also ruins the rotor, lol

Just letting you know in case you ever need to remove another rotor

i just recently changed my rotors. my calipers and mounting brackets on the back were seized up, but the screws came out of the rotors very easily all around except for the front passenger side in which i had to drill one out. i tried to re-tap it, but the dye broke off inside of it! so i put the new rotor on with one screw. **** it! the wheel would hafta fall off before the rotor fell off neways!
