I'm sorry, but this did not answer the question. The brake rotors are part of the front hub. After removing the caliper, the grase cap must be removed from the center of the hub. Bend back the cotter pin and remove it(use a new one). Remove the castlated(looks like a tiny castle) nut, keyed washer and outer bearing. pull the caliper straight out towards you. The bearings, both inner and outer, as well as the spindle shaft should be inspected at this time. If there are any pits, flats, or blueing from heat replace the bearing. Any doubt? Replace the bearing. Removing the inner bearing for any reason requires removing the inner seal. Pry it out. DO NOT REUSE IT! ALWAYS REPACK THE BEARINGS WITH NEW GREASE WHEN REPLACING ROTORS! Make sure the spindle has been cleaned and has a new layer of grease on it. Place freshly greased big bearing(narrow side in) into the back of the new rotor. Place the NEW seal against it's seat with the shoulder towards you. Place a small piece of FLAT wood on it and tap it gently into place using taps on opposing sides to keep it as even as possible going in. Carefully place rotor on the spindle shaft, don't drag it or you will damage you NEW SEAL! Place the small bearing(narrow side in) into the hub, then the keyed washer, then the castlated nut. Tighten the nut by hand while turning the rotor to seat the bearings. Tighten another 1/2 to 3/4 turn again while turning the rotor. Does it still turn free? If so tighten another 1/2. If not, check for play, grasping top and bottom of rotor and rattling back and forth. When there is no play, loosen the nut in SLIGHT amounts until 1 The rotor turns freely AND 2 There is only the slightest of play detected. Now you may reassemble your brakes.........Jake
