I changed my rotors with a big brake rotor kit and them shits came off hella easy. I unscrewed it with a regular ol' screw driver and didnt put them back in because the wheel holds the rotor in.

 

If they were removed previously before and just screwed in snug, yah then using a regular screwdriver should not be a problem.

Funkwheat, also just a small note, make sure the screwdriver bit you use is the right size. You just want to make sure that it is in there nice and snug ( a good tight fit) before you hammer away. That's all!

heh. I bought an impact screwdriver at Napa for like freakin 30$... didn't do shit for this damn screw. Tried drillin' it out, and I broke a bit... I ended up just buying the right sized screws to go in the holes in the rotor (The ones that are used for poppin' the rotor off the hub)... I screwed those bastards in real tight, then the head of the screw just fired off like a bullet. And there was much rejoicing. :P

And of course, I put the new ones on without the screws, cause they're goddamn useless

Thanks again fellas.

 

Well the purpose of them is to hold the rotor on when the wheel is off. But yeah, I wish Honda had made them a squarebit or something. The only way I got mine off is with a shitload of heat and patience. Good job :thumbup:

 

Yeah, the way it seems is that they are mainly used for holding it on while in the factory. Perhaps the wheels aren't put on at the same time as the rotors, so they don't want the damn things floppin around in the meantime.

But yeah, regardless... they're annoying!
