I don't feel like drilling out the rest of my brake screws so I would like to get the proper bit to take it out. I know that it looks like a phillip's head but there is another name for a shallow phillips head bit. I had it bookmarked on another forum but of course it is down and I was going to head out to the store. Anyone know the correct bit and size to get these out?

 

Yes, it's called Makita!

 

I hope not that was a pain last time drilling it out.

 

It has been a while since I have done mine but I think that it had a 4 in it. I'm not sure if that will help but good luck.

 

It is a # 4 Phillips.

 

A #4 phillips works but it is a more of a shallow phillips and it has a special name I just forget off the top of my head.

 

Those screws are not really needed so dont bother putting them back in.
Besides, leaving them out will help your MPG.

 

I'm not worried about putting them back in, I just want to get them off without having to drill them. I finally got my rotors and pads and OME shocks and springs sitting in my garage and I want to get it all in this weekend.

 

The best tool for those is a manual impact driver (see first image in link). I have used mine numerous times and they are great for this particular application. A very good tool to own. You won't destroy the screw or worry about having to drill it out. Sears should have them.

Yeah I've seen those before you hit them with a hammer, sounds like it would do the job. I try a harbor freight model just to try it out. I have to buy a taller jack so I'm limited on my tool fund.
