The only gentle way of trying to unlock a siezed screw that I can think of is with a product (or products like) "Mouse Milk Penetrating Oil". We use it here for Aircraft maintenance. Mouse Milk penetrating oil
Otherwise, you just have to use one of the "forceful" tricks of the trade for removing siezed/stripped screws.

Fuck, I didnt even realize they screwd in until I looked at it. WHO THE FUCK SCREWS ROTORS IN!!!!!
Its just asking for problems, DAMN YOU HMC!
Well I'll try that, otherwise leave the old rotors on I guess and have a shop deal with it at some other time.

try using an impact with a really big bit. thats how i got mine to break loose. you just have to put alot of pressure on it so it dont slip and strip it out

Ha, from one end of the spectrum to the other. Only thing about the impact, is that the vibration could cause a shear failure in the middle of the screw, and cause it to crack in half mid-thread, and then you'll have half a screw stuck in the hole lol.
ha! the only way you're getting it out (if it hasn't with a regular screw driver) is an impact screw driver. Its a tool that you use like a screwdriver, but you hammer it in, and it has a mechanism that translates your hammering into unscrewage. Don't know if its called an impact screwdriver, but i know i have one, and its the best tool in the world.

Yea, they're awesome. I just wouldnt use them on an old rusted out screw; but my job is to over-engineer and be conservative, so it's probably fine lol.
honda puts them in during manufacturing to hold them on until the wheel is put on. most people don't put them back in after they change their rotors.
Mine wouldn't even come out with an impact. I used a speed handle and it worked much better they came right out.
Speed handle?
Also, on the calipers you have to remove thoes 2 bolts that have that rubber guard over them too when installing new pads right? I am assuming so? Othersiwe just get a C-clamp and push the caliper piston back.
I never have done brakes on this car, so it's kinda an adventure.
But I did manage to get both my old shock/strut assembly's from the front off today and am getting the koni's and H&R's rigged up.
I had to drill those screws out, try the impact screw driver, if you wind up stripping it, just drill them out, and you dont need to put new ones back in.

I have dealt with teh screw issue, now I need to figure out whats wrong with my drivers side caliper. I think I need a new one, because the slideing bolt won't move on the lower part and I can't close my caliper over the pads.
Fuck, everything seems to love to break and go wrong on me with this car sometimes.............
thats a speed handle. its what we used on painted aircraft screws. worked good on my rotors too.
the front ones you should be able to use a c clamp the rears you can rent the tool from auto zone for free. those need to twist in at the same time they push in.
