I've bought the cheesy brake screw tool from autozone for like $15 but it's useless since you have to push in while turning. What other technquines are there? I"m just thinking of buying a drill and drill all of them out and but new ones from dealer.

You have a handheld impact driver (http://kk.org/cooltools/archives/723)? One of these might help. You have to have a slight torque applied as you strike, but it does work (sometimes).

You're supposed to hit it with a hammer. It should do the turning for you.

Anyways, those screws are only there for the assembly line so drilling them out will not hurt it whatsoever.

any kind of drill with any kind of decent bit, they are usually pretty soft screws.

[wetamup2k3g]

I never replace those screws, but yeah, like Jigz said, the way you work the tool is grab the driver and apply some torque, or twisting force, in the direction you want to twist your screw or fastener, and strike the end of it with a hammer. The blow will do the strong twisting for you. It doesn't have to be a huge hammer, but a regular 32oz (2lb) should get it. Even still, really stuck screws may either strip or break, and even then you still may have to drill it out. So good luck, hope this helps.

Those screws...I hate them with a passion, especially Hyundai ones. Most come out, it's the ones that round off or snap that give you a headache.

These screws are the real devil i tell ya. Im going outside in 100degree weather. Going to take all 3 of em out today. I got one to get loose but others are tight. Just because of these damn screws my job has been extended fackkkkkkkkkk

OKAY! back here to give good news. Got all 4 of the screws out. Went to sears hoping to buy a drill but instead I got this impact driver.

Even though the screw was stripped, I pound this sucker in and twisted it and bam came right off! Even the passenger side no spray pb blaseter or anything, just get right bit pound it in and twist. I was going to buy a $130 drill but instead I tried this. $25! Don't get the one from autozone it's very similar to what wetamup2k3g posted a picture of it that's the one where you have to push in at the same time hit with hammer and very crappy low quality design.
Works so I great I can do like 50 cars in a row like this. http://imageshack.us/a/img210/7715/11858266chuck.png

cool glad you got them out. looks like a pretty nifty tool for 25 bucks if you dont have4 an air compressor or anything.

[spdracr]

Also a nifty thing to invest in is a set of grabit bits. Its an extractor set and works on hard to get out rusted screws.

[deziking]

Yea its a must have tool. Makes job a lot easier!

Use an old man in a air hammer with a #3 phillips head bit. We use these all the time in aviation to get corroded screws out. http://www.yardstore.com/browse.cfm/4,3701.html

[wetamup2k3g]

^^I've used this before at work, more times than not they work good, other times it will break the screw smooth off. It never meets a screw that tells it no. At least not the air hammers we have at work.
