Does any one know the type/size of the retaining screw for the brake rotors on a D2? It looks like a Philips, but I want to make sure I have the right tool so I don't butcher the screw heads. | ||

It's a #4 Pozidriv. You're more likely to mangle the screw if you use a phillips bit. | ||

Craig, I thought it might be PoziDriv. I have #0-#3, but no #4. I can tell if I use a #3 it will cam out. Any idea where I can #4 bit? Kyle | ||

Thursday night, my local Snap-on guy bent me over for $21 for that #4 Pozi bit attached to a 3/8 drive. but, the next day I learned that it was worth every penny. I think this is it: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/pro_det.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=2460&group_ID=2 79&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog | ||

Don't you just wish they made a #5 Kyle?  | ||

I didn't have the tools required so I drilled out that screw. I know that it is there for a reason, but as long as you tighten your lugs you'll be in good shape. | ||

I can't figure out the reason for that screw, maybe it is to hold the disk on during assembly of the vehicle on the line or when changing tires or something... | ||

Alternatively you can use a rock. |
