once you have removed the brake caliper and bracket, take a short 2x4 piece of wood and hold it where the caliper mounts and beat it against the rotor from the inside out, rotate the rotor a little every hit, pry, work it, it will eventually come off. you may need to adjust the parking brake down to remove the rotor as well. an access hole is in the backing plate - hard to get at.
Rotors on the front drums on the rear.
Are you trying to turn your rotors? I had mine taken off to have the rotors turned only to find out that they are not supposed to be removed.
pull the calipers off. there might be a small washer on one or two of the studs. if there is pull those off and the rotors will come right off.
a really big hammer!
Remove the rear wheels, then the calipers and simply pull the rotors off. If the parking brakd is on the caliper you need a special tool ot retract the caliper.
start by taking the tires off
No, but a hand impact does make removing the two screws in the rear rotors easy.
If you take the rotors off and look at them real close, You will see it STAMPED into the rotor. Then you will have to take some cailbers and measure them.
Removing Front & Rear Rotors Well Guys... I remove my Front & Rear Rotors out of my 1998 Ford Expedition XLT. I rented a 3 Jaw Puller from Auto Zone and a bottle of PB Blaster and a sledge hammer it only took about one hour or less to take both off... The way I removed the Front & Rear Rotors was ... 1. I put lots of PB Blaster in the back and the front of the rotors to be removed. 2. I put plenty of tension with the 3 Jaw Puller... 3. I hit the back of the rotor with the sledge hammer... And it came right off... Hope this helps someone out there...
