remvoing front rotors
#3
try this...it worked for me. tighten all your lugs against the rotor, then take a hammer and bang on the end of the screwdriver. it should come loose after that try it a few times you might have to hit it really hard

impact driver is the best bet, I just removed 16 of those babies two weeks ago on two Hondas. It is very easy.
If you don't want to do that get a big philips screwdriver and pound on the end of it about 12 times and then try to crack it loose.
A good friend of mine always heats them up with a torch whenever he does it.
Lastly, there was a post recently about freezing them with compressed air, use a keyboard compressed air cleaner turning it upside down and spraying for 30 seconds to freeze the screw.

Northern Tool sells the impact screwdriver thingy for ~$10.
I did our AP1 without the tool. Wound up stripping the heads of the screws and having to drill the stinkers out.
When I was working on the CR, they wouldn't come free easily... so I went and got the tool.
WD-40 + impact screwdriver + hammer = success.
And I used anti-seize in them when I put them back.

a nicely weighted hammer - 3 lbs ?, helps in conjunction with the impact driver, hit it a few times and make sure it bottoms out each time and the screws will come loose most of the time.
