    you dont even need to use those screws , once they are moved dont even use them again. They are just to keep the rotor on during the assembly line

    I find myself removing screws from threaded AV racks. I’ll start by making a small hole then upsizing the bit to something a bit larger. Once I get a good enough bite on the screw I reverse it and unscrew it out. If that doesn’t work I’ll just hog it out until I can pop the screw out.

    Use regular drill bit for part 1, then use a left hand drill bit for part 2. Way easier!

    I gotta try this tomorrow… both screws on my 02 accord are rusted shut. Tried using an impact screwdriver.. all 3 Phillips bits it came with broke off at the tip 😡 So when using the bigger drill bit do you drill it in reverse?? Or how do you get it to unscrew in the end??

    No you dont need to reverse it, just keep drilling and it will come out. The screw head will detach and slide over your bit. You dont need to remove the threads since these screws aren't needed so you simply don't reinstall them.

    You stress the use of titanium (coated) bits, is that because you might break bits in this process and you want to use cheap ones? Cobalt bits are better for this purpose. But are more expensive.

    I've just found that titanium bits are the cheapest ones that work everytime for me. I was mainly trying to get the point across to use a metal bit that is a harder material than the material of the screw.

    Everyone has such a tough time removing these... I need to make a video of how I handle them. Non ratcheting breaker bar with a hammer. Light torque, hard impacts, never more than a 30 second process. They usually come out and are re-usable. Once in a while they sheer, which isn't a problem. But they never round off.
