a word to the wise
Here is some unsolicited advice 
This is the tail end of my addition to this thread on changing rear brakes...

But you'd propbalby not see this unless you are looking for info on changing the rear brake pads. By then this tip might be too late to help you.
Notice that star headed bolt in the photo? I HIGHLY recommend everybody take it out the next time you have the wheel off and put a bit of high temp caliper grease on the threads. Do this on all 4 wheels. Believe me, you do not want that !#$%!#$ bolt to be rusted in place when u need to replace your brake rotors.

Great advice.
If it's stuck, or you strip the splines, you can always drill it. But much better to not have to worry about that. I always use my 3/8" impact screwdriver with the right bit. That impact action, a little heat, and patience, and you won't have to drill.
