Drill, tap, and reverse it out. Problem solved. There are even specific tools that don't require you to drill the bolt head to reverse it out.

Servicing your own brakes, oil changes, filter changes, and tire rotation(s) should be a required skill set. Shit like this wouldn't even be an issue.

Last time I had someone service my vehicle they didn't screw in the oil drain bolt and it popped out on the freeway.

That was over a decade ago. Now when I do oil, I run seafoam, clean my air filter, clean my MAF, and lift it up on one side so that even more oil pours out than if it was flat.

For it to be loose enough to fall into the free way it was lose enough to be leaking everywhere.

Did you blow up your engine?

[ - ] Kozel [op] 4 points 9 hoursMay 11, 2025 20:57:39 ago (+4/-0)

No, they came out and replaced the drain bolt in a parking lot and added oil. Then we went back. Then they denied they did anything wrong and claimed I did it myself. I tried to contact Meinkeke corporate but they deleted my order number from the system. I gave up at that point, being a dumb 20 year old. If this had happened in current times they would have had a 10k small claims suit.

I have a bit set that removes stripped screws. Simple as.

I'm pissed on the next mechanic's behalf.

You don’t need that screw anyways.

He deserves a bullet.

What is even the point of those fucking screws? don't the lugs hold the rotor on?

[ - ] lolxd 3 points 11 hoursMay 11, 2025 19:23:10 ago (+3/-0)

Shitskin Engineering.

I always assumed it is just to hold the rotor on while it's still on the assembly line.

[ - ] 2024SantaFe 1 point 9 hoursMay 11, 2025 21:16:34 ago (+1/-0)

They do that on some cars but they are mostly there to make removing a stuck rotor possible. You impact a bolt in and it presses on the hub. The assembly line often uses a nut called a Tinnerman nut but anyways. Buddy in the video appears to be using a Mac 20V impact with Amazon sourced #3 philips. Overall I rate his setup as Nigger tier. Get a Milwaukee as MAC/DeWalt will never be the GOAT. He also doesn't show his skin, nigger confirmed.

Just makes it easier to put the caliper on that's it

[ - ] Moravian 1 point 7 hoursMay 11, 2025 22:42:35 ago (+1/-0)

The point of the screw is to hold the rotor while you install the caliper housing with the pads. Makes life easier. Also it keeps debris from falling in between the rotor and hub face when installing everything else.

Gotta strip em good to make sure no one takes it out!

Without treadlock, that will back out in a week to a few weeks.

Those tend to rust and need extracted anyways
