haven't done it on the 'vic yet myself, but from what i hear, WD-40, let it sit, then use a No. 3 phillips head bit to loosen.

Okay, that sounded like a legitimate question so i'll give you a legitimate answer. If the screws are stuck on the rotor and you can't get it off with just a Phillips screwdriver: 1. Stick the Phillips screwdriver into one screw, 2. then use a hammer and hit the top of the screwdriver a number of times, 3. Hitting it with the hammer will loosen the screw and you'll be able to get it off with no other problems. Do the same with the other screw. I have done this numerous times and it has not damaged the rotors.

See, I CAN be a nice guy if you ask REAL questions.

You use an impact screwdriver. Basically, it has a phillips tip on it, then you hit the other head with a hammer. Works great. If you don't you usually strip the screws out, since the heat and water rusts them stuck.

Trust me, get the tool. I had to drill one out this weekend and it was a pain.
