Honda uses two flat head machine screws to hold the brake rotors in place on the CR-Vs. These screws are always corroded and since they are Phillips and mild steel, they are almost impossible to remove when replacing rotors.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to remove these screws without damaging the screws or having to drill them out?

Thanks, Boogity

Yes I do. It is a rather cheap tool and you will not use it a lot but when you do it is very handy. It is an impact driver. It has a end that you rap with a hammer and the other end has removable bits for various attachments. A click one way or the other and it will either tighten the screw or loosen it. Insert it firmly in to the head of the screw and hit it with hammer. Wa la. It works.

Harbor Freight, auto parts store, tractor supply stores care this tool. Good luck.
