How do you remove the front rotors from a Ford Windstar?

Answer 1

Answer
If the same as on my '95 and '00 Windstars,

• remove wheel and tire,
  
• back out anchor cross bolts for caliper - suspend caliper with a wire hanger to prevent hose damage.
  
• Once caliper is off, remove the 3 or 4 small screws that hold the rotor to the wheel hub.
  Also hope there is no corrosion behind the rotor sticking it to the hub. Big hammer, heat & penetrating oil.

My personal experience is that it is worthwhile to spend a few extra bucks to replace rotors with new aftermarket units as compared to having the old ones turned. They have to be very very accurately turned to prevent early recurrence of brake pulsation--beyond the scope of most local shops.
The basics:

• remove the wheel
  * compress the piston back into the caliper
  * remove the 2 caliper retaining bolts
  * lift the caliper off and support with wire - hang it from the coil spring or similar
  * there are 4 or 5 set screws that you have to remove.
  * remove rotor
