Be ready to drill out the screw. I can only get them out about half the time.
I have also seen the disks rusted to the hubs. Sometimes you can bang them
with a hammer and get them loose. On one car, I ended up renting a puller.
And then, sometimes it easy. On my latest car, the countersunk screws were
not replaced (probably drilled out). Every time I remove the wheel, the disk
slides around!
Good luck.
