Q: How do I get the rear driver side break disc off?

asked by on January 26, 2017

I've been here for 2 hours trying to take off this rear break disc on the driver side. I've tried using WD 40 also blow torching and hitting it with a mallet. Both holes and screws are both stripped not allowing the screws to fully go through. -Emergency break is off.
My car has an automatic transmission.
