Default RE: Rotors!!!!

Reils, don't be listening to the 1500 guys, their setup is different than yours. You are going in the right direction. You have to take the whole hub bearing assembly out to get your rotors offof the 2500. Napa can turn your rotors with the hub bearing attached. Otherwise if you have to replace the rotor, you have to press out the lugs and replace the rotor and put the lugs back in. It's a real PITA.

Back to your hub removal. Spray it up inside by the four hub bolts with PB and let it sit. Spray it again. You can get new bolts that fit into the hub bolt holes or use theyourhub bolts.Put the bolt in and leave loose.Hit thebolt headwith a hammer. Try moving around the pattern to get it off evenly. Give them a good smack, it will come. Don't hammer on the rotor or try a wheel puller, you will split the hub bearing and it's a pain to put back together easily AND they are expensive. Be careful when it finally come loose or you will pull your axle out. Hold it back by the u-joint.

While you are in there make sure your u-joints are good otherwise you will be going in again at a later date. The second time is easy. Make sure you never sieze where the hub bearing and knuckle meet. You will be happy you did later. Good luck. It will come off. Let the spray work.

Ya the rotors are a pain in the ***! I got mine off by using a three jaw puller and a long breaker bar and after a while it'll come off just a lot of work.
