Default Brake Rotors
2001 SLT Quad Cab 4.7L

Hey, how do you get the front rotors off? Do you have to remove that large (size?) center nut?

Thanks!

do this in saya clockwise fashion they are just froze up with rust, also you can use even a bigger hammer than that, but it gets awkward depends how big ya are! [8D]
