[Vwdiesel] front brake rotors

[lbaird119 at aol.com]

Hand impact screwdriver...
You can pre-turn it so you're basically just hitting it or back up a bit and get some turn with each hit, plus it has mass so you get more force where you want it rather than having to lean as hard on it except just to keep it in the fastener.   A MUST on motorbike case bolts.

Sometimes lining things up can sure be a pain in the butt, so it would be 
orthwhile to attempt to remove the screw intact.  I seat the screwdriver and 
hen hit the handle of the screwdriver with a hammer.  I learned a trick of 
iving it 200 sharp hits, at the rate of approx 100 per minute.  That 
hock/vibration does a pretty good job breaking up rust and corrosion that will 
ikely be present.  Spray it with PB Blaster before starting, halfway through, 
nd at the end.  
If the screw doesn't turn easily then, I will clamp locking pliers onto the base 
f the handle of the screwdriver.  This allows me to lean on the screwdriver 
ith full pressure, and turn it at the same time.  At that point, it should 
ither turn easily, or snap off.  Either way you can change your rotors.

It is the largest one you will be able to find at a store. Sometimes they are 
usted on and you have no choice but to just break off/drill out. Not needed for 
nstall but it is nice when you put your wheels on to keep everything aligned.

 What is the size and pitch of the flathead Phillips screw that holds the
 front brake rotors in position on the early 80s Caddy's or Rabbits
