Hopefully this doesn't happen to you...
Started on the passenger side of a 9-5 once doing pads and rotors. Got that side done in 45 minutes. Move to driver side... Set screw stripped out. I tried EVERYTHING to get it out. Even BROKE a hardened Snap-On Easy-Out in the damn thing. Last resort was an air powered dremel. Then, once the head of the set screw was removed, the rotor was so rusted to the hub that it BROKE into two pieces beating it with a hammer on the backside. Even tried cutting through the rotor with the dremel. After about a gallon of PB blaster it finally came free. I left the nub of the retaining screw in the hub I think.
