2 methods-

This method works on most cars- once in a while you need to add a torch.

Second method is a bit less pretty- large sharp drill bit... Drill the head off the screws- remove rotors- spray with a quality penetrating oil grab with vice grips and try to twist- worst case apply heat.

If you don't have an impact driver use an old quality screw driver, some heat, pb blaster, and a good hammer. Heat up around the screw, hit it with the pb blaster, and give it some good whacks w/ the screwdriver/hammer. Then see if you can unscrew it by hand.

My first tool is always an impact driver. If they are already bad you can cut em, only for assembly line.

Heat gun won't touch it- although I don't normally suggest them- harbor freight should have one.

Had this problem when I did my rear rotors, ended up drilling them out. DeWalt drill + titanium carbide bits = victory.

harbor freight should know what an impact driver is sad that people at sears "the tool place" doesnt know what an impact driver is

Performance Tool - Impact Driver Set
Part # W2500P
Got this at oreilly auto when I was doing my 5-lug swap. It is a must have. ONLY $10.
Prior to getting the impact driver I also drilled them out just a little bit and used an ease-out to get it loose, worked well and could still reuse the screw. The impact is the shiznit though.
I did a short write-up on my 5-lug swap too.
