Family bought a brand new civic last year - I do the maintenance on it. Oil, filters, tires, etc. Rotated the tires the other day and while I was in there, I took those little screws out of the rotors and put a metric BUTT ton of antiseize on the threads. Not about to deal with getting those out when it's time to do a brake job, living in Indiana where they salt the crap outta the roads and all. Probably could've left 'em out, but it felt better having them in there for some reason.

my manual impact driver was one of the first tools i ever bought. more than 40 years ago. it still gets pulled out on occasion (almost always for a phillips screw) and i wouldn't want to be without it. will keep the valve lapping compound in mind the next time i use it.

when back in the day when I was way younger, I bought one that looks to be the vary same make.
You couldn't hurt it, but A-lass, after 30 years, it went the way of the dodo -bird, my replacement impact driver wasn't any where near as good as the first one. O well.

Great tool. Used to use those to remove the slotted screws holding bedknives on reelmowers ( golf course type equipment. Those ganged reelmowers used to sit outside all season in the rain and the screws were in pretty good. The lapping compound is a great idea.

I use one all the time. I also break a lot of bits in those dumb screws. do you have any ideas why? I do smack the rotor with a hammer, and to aid in removing those screws, I put a ball peen hammer on the screw and hit it with a second hammer.

Sometimes if you grind the screw off on the inside of the hub it will zipp off. I had a few that had that screw 1/2 too long but the threads on the inboard side was nothin but a rusted glob. Ground the motha down to the wheel hub. bingo

That Honda uses JIS rotor screws. But I assume you used a Phillips bit. Have you ever had a problem with that? Like rounding out the JIS head?
I'm wondering whether it's worth hunting down JIS impact bits, or if I can get away with Phillips.

The first time i had trouble taking one of those torx screws out, it was a nightmare, I've been thinking about getting one of these impacts for a while now just for that reason, appreciate the compound tip!

To loosen wheel pegs ( on the road, for emergency tire changes and so) should i go for one of these, or a breaker bar? Are impact sockets required, or it can do well with regular? Thanks!
