    BUT now you say you drilled the screws out but the rotor still won't come off?

    ...Get a bigger hammer

    Actually just quit using a rubber mallet, if you're replacing the rotor anyways it doesn't really matter if you mark up the surface or even warp the rotor. You sprayed behind the rotor where it meets the hub, and not just in the screw holes correct?

    My friend had the impact bit, the screws still didnt budge. Thats why we drilled the hell out of them. I figured I'd just buy new screws once i get the new ones on. I didnt want to use a real hammer because if I damaged them and they still didnt come off it wouldnt even be drivable, I was also scared of damaging the spindell. Tommorrow i'm gonna give it all I got and beat it with a real hammer. Today the high pitched squeal has gotten to noticable. I hope the liquid wrench and claw hammer work.
