Yeah, I've had interesting times getting wheels and rotors off various cars over the years. The BFH has been put to use a few times

Also, heat is your friend. A good torch can do wonders....

I'm actually going to attempt this either tomorrow or Friday afternoon. I'm going to pick up an impact driver (I think the one I used was broken) and some torx bits I don't care about. I reckon I can get these loose since I doused them in PB Blaster before I put everything together again. I thought about getting an electric impact gun from Harbor Freight, but I figured I'll save my money and just get the impact driver. I've watched a ton of videos on various methods of getting rotor screws loose, and most go impact driver, then to heat, then to drilling out.
Edit: I'm sure the next problem will be that I can't get the rotors off since they are rusted on hahah

I changed the brakes on my girlfriends accord and both front rotor screws were seized. Tried pb blaster and even a slap hammer. Nothing. Ended up drilling them. Really quick and easy. Went to the dealer and got new screws for like .40 cents each. Really easy.

Put a good coat of antisieze on them and you'll never have the problem again. No need for stainless steel replacements... I have over 100k after doing this and they come out real easy every time

Indeed! But at least it's done.

Sucks...I had one I had to drill out too. No good. Glad you got it sorted out, though!
