>>15403618
Time to get creative...

I'm gonna need: 3 vise grips, one table saw, a smoke machine and a rubber chicken.

When i did my clutch i just screwed that lisle pilot remover u use with a grease gun and tightened it real tight than put a wrench behind it and hammered it out. No mess at all.

Turns out the reason I stripped the screw was because I for some stupid reason kept tighting instead of loosening. Oh well. now I know better.

When those screws fuck up I just leave them off.
Theyre just from the factory assembly line so the rotors dont move.

Why not a real live chicken?

It's very easy to make sure those screws don't fuck up. Without those screws it's more of a pain in the ass to bolt the wheel on to the hub, unless you use a rod/stud tool.

for me the single defining reason i dont work on my own cars is because

siezed bolts

rusted bolts

snapping heads off bolts

if i get into any of these situations i dont really have the resorces or time to tackle somthing that involved myself

that being said there is a reason why i buy newer or rust free cars whenever i can

>>15406153

>Lug bolts

found the problem

>>15406096
Because smacking someone with a live chicken is not as satisfying.

>>15405884
Grease works too. Basically anything incompressible that is viscous enough not to run out of hole.

Tape works (around a bar). But I just turned a scrap piece of steel about .005" less than the bearing and one good tap popped it right out.
