help with rotor

[jw674]

i have a 1992 f250 4x4.my rotor is bad how do you change it.i try to get it off but cant.how do you do it?????

Are you talking the brake rotor? If so, you have to remove the tire/wheel, 4wd hub, brake caliper, and spindle nuts. This removes the whole hub and rotor assembly. Then with a brass punch or something softer than steel, beat out the wheel studs to seperate the hub and rotor, then reverse steps to install the new rotor, adding a new wheel seal and repacking the wheel bearings. Depending on how many miles and what kind of use your truck has seen, one might think about axle u joint and trunion bearing/seal as well.

Hope it helps, need more help let us know.

Sometimes you dont have to be gentle with the wacking, if its stubborn and your replacing them hit them with a hammer twards the edge so it will free itself from the studs.
