Thanks Crabman, now I understand why I couldn't get the rotors off. Well I just run it the way it is. I did get the new pads now no big deal there.

Check out my post on 6/10 kinda talks about it. Just don't do anything to pound the rotors off yet. Later you may have to knock out the bearing/rotor assembly if you want to try and remove the rotors to turn them. Come back on and we can talk you through that but its similiar to the bearing removal described in pavement sucks while replacing u-joints on a 1500. The bearing gets a little stuck and needs to be finessed out. I used a hammer and tapped it out gently. If you need u-joints on the front axles, now would be a good time. Mine were shot.

Thanks again Crabman, i'll just wait and redo the rotors when these pads wear out. Now that i have a little better idea whats goin on in the wrold of Dodge rotors.

Ditto. I probably won't revisit mine either until the next set of pads.
