When trying to remove a rotor to replace it on the 1994 Honda DX, I stripped one of the screws when trying to remove it with a drill (in adition to the two caliper mounting brackets, there are 2 screws that need to be taken off). I successfully installed the one on the driver side (the one the was the worst). What do I need to do to get the other one taken off? Thanks, Paul

Once you get the other screw off you can helicoil the damaged hole.

When you say screws do you mean the two small bolts in the center of the rotor? If so and the heads are stripped try using a small chisel moving it in the direction the screw needs to go clockwise, let us know
