Front rotor/hub replacement
I just purchased an250,000mi 2WD '89 Dodge Dakota with a V6 for $1.
Its has been sitting under a tree for abouta year.I removed the mouse nestfrom the engine compartment before turning the key, and to my amazementthe engine still runs! The paint is shot, one tire needs to be replaced, but the fluids look good, and for $1, what the heck.
The Previous owner says the last time it was on the road, the front wheel had a horrible vibration, and the brakes should be replaced. I'm picking up new pads and front rotors, but I have never worked on brakes where the hub and rotor are one unit. (used to mitsubishi stuff)
What kind of tools will I need to remove the old rotors, and what do I need to know in order to install the new parts?
