I will be doing my friends rotor/pad replacement tommorow, but theres two screws that require a special tool, i read grey's DIY, and even PMed him (no response) and he says you just need a #3 philips bit.. though my friend did it on my other friends 02 LX (have SO many friends w/ 7th gens) and he says you need some type of tool you hit with a hammer... could someone clarify just how exactly you get those two screws off?

Thanks

its an impact driver but if ur good u can take a screwdriver hammer the thing into the screw and turn it with ur hands and it might come being the car is newer....but the impact driver works better

yah, i used an impact driver to get mine loose but get a GOOD one. I bought a Husky brand one and the phillips bit i used crumbled after 3 hits.
