My Goodness!!!! What did Mazda use to secure the rotor to the hub?????? It looks white, so it's not red Locktite! What cheap fasteners did they use??? I rounded out the phillips head with the first attempt!!!!
Years ago I bought a nifty tool to remove phillips head fasteners. You put the right bit in it, center it in the fastener and smack it with a hammer. The tool rotates just a hair when you smack it and breaks the resistance of the fastener. After that you can unscrew it by hand. Today it rounded the head. It looks like I've no options except to try and drill out the fasteners to get the rotor off the hub now.
I've messed around with a lot of cars, but haven't had this much trouble just removing a rotor. Where did I mess up? Did I miss something obvious??? As usual, any help is appreciated.
