I can’t remove the brake pads screw. Any suggestions?

[Bojan Gjoshevski]

Hey guys,
I tried couple of times removing the brake pads screws but no luck. I sprayed them with w40 and still nothing.
Any suggestions I can try. I don’t want to use a drill driver so I don’t damage the screw.
Thanks,
Ben

Try applying some heat. On my c650 I replaced all brake pads last summer and had no trouble at all getting the bolts out. Maybe check prices on new bolts, could be surprisingly reasonable, before using the impact driver (which should be fine). But try some heat first.
