Hey all, I recently changed the rear rotors on my AU Lane and the end of one of the screws was rounded so I used a red lictight stuff to make sure it stayed tight... well problem now is that the handbrake needs adjusting desperately but I now can't remove it! Please help!

Remove the rubber grommet from the rotor and you can line it up with the hand brake adjuster to adjust the handbrake.
You'll need a propane torch and impact driver to get that screw out in future. |

An impact driver should do on it's own.

Don't worry too much about the screw, they're not really needed, the wheel/nuts hold the whole assembly together.
Just get a cheap impact driver, it'll do the job fine, maybe $20.

 old age I guess ,you can put some never seize on the threads if you like as this helps them from locking on (caused by heat transfer from all that braking  ) or just nip them up as Sox said they're held in by the wheels any ways
