Removing rotor retaining bolts

Actually a punch screwdriver should be used to remove the screws from the rotor. It minimizes the likelihood of stripped screws, although I ended up with 2 screws that had to be drilled out. I'm replacing the rotors and rebuilding the calipers on my 2005 997.

Thanks for the feedback. I have not seen (on this side of the country) a screw that needed an impact to remove it but it is possible.

Done everyday by shops that know what they are doing.
