Should help you out, once you get the caliper off should be pretty obvious what to do. Just pop off the old rotor and put in the new one.

Don't believe so, here's a diagram of the front brakes for you. Might help out a little, the rears should be very similar.

Did you try tapping it with a hammer? Maybe its just stuck on there...

yea, your rotors are gonna be stuck on there pretty good. If you are putting new ones on you might just wanna whack the cr@p out of it with a mallet or hammer.

k1ng1

yea i did with a rubber hammer

its gonna have to be hard. its ceased on there. Nothing holds it on.

hit it harder...

let me ask this.....after i take my wheel off...and after i take my caliper off...what is supporting the rotor after i do that??

No, you don't need to take the axle nut off. lol! Try a few smacks w/ a hammer to loosen it. Another way is you could screw in a right-fitting bolt into the hole near the studs close to the center. The holes are there so when you screw in a bolt in there, the bolt will push the rotor out.

supporting? your lug nut studs, like iamhollywood said it's just seized on there

k1ng1

hahah wtf? man..

xIxAMxHOLLYWOODx

nothing, your wheel sandwiches the rotor in between it and the axel

Yup, like I said. Don't be shy, dude! Whack it like you're mad at your gf or ex, whatever! Hyhaaa!!!

Or, just screw in a bolt to push it out.

alrite peeps...thanx for everything im back on it tomorro thanx...

from heating and cooling, water and corrosion, the rotors get stuck to the axle pretty good. I tried to take mine off the other day to locate a squeak Ive been having and I gave up. And I have over 50k on those rotors. Im gonna have a hell of a time replacing those bad boys I know it. I just didnt want to damage them cause its not time to change them yet...

This should be a nice link to save for future reference. Hope it helps:

The rear brakes are cake. For the fronts, do what the people have stated; smack it!!

Or....you can use one of the bolts from the front radiator plate and thread it into the small screw holes on the hub and continue threading in until the rotor pops off.......

Works like a charm!
