    The way I've found to prevent strippage is:

    1. Make sure the hole is free of debris.
    2. Using the appropriately sized torx, tap it into place slightly with a small ball peen hammer.
    3. Attach ratchet to torx and while applying inward force attempt to loosen, all the while using proper counter torque.

    ***NOTE: If torx is welded to caliper/hub, heat and Aerokroil may be utilized to help break the torx free.

    in the rotor retaining screw, or the caliper slide? the slide is supposed to have a cap on it so that it doesn't get filled with debris.

    both are hex fasteners, not torx.

    Ha! Missed the boat totally didn't I?

    Yes.... I was speaking to rotor and the original issue is the caliper slide pins. My bust. Yes... They are hex. Yes, they have a cap.

    Going back to sleep now.... Zzzzzzz

    Repaired my DISA valve using the G.A.S. rebuild kit (quality product). She’s purring like a kitten now without the clatter, and it’s comforting to know she’s not going to grenade. The valve actually looked pretty good—as well it should with only 49,200 miles on it.
