Default Small stuff: Rotor set screw extracted and replaced after years

of having the rotor flop around on me every time I had the wheel off. (!) Yes, I broke the head off one of the set screws a long time ago and, while it does not <i>really</i> have to be replaced, today was it's day. Drilled then punched and it turned right out. Replaced with p/n N10112603 countersunk bolt M6X15SP and added just a tad of anti-seize this time. Wooo hoooo! (Oh, I also lowered the coil overs a tad to see how I like it.)

Victory!

Default Good to know. All of mine were sheared off when I bought the car. I suppose I'll replace them

So I can quit swearing every time I try to reinstall a wheel.

Not needed. Only serves to prevent rotor from dropping on your toes.
