So once I remove the caliper bolts and the 2 screws holding the rotor it can be removed then? Do I need to mess with the large bolt on the hub at all?

 

No, I believe the rotor slides around the bolt on the hub. But wha ever you do. MAKE SURE you hav ean impact driver set for the screws holding on the rotors. I believe it's only one screw on each side, but it'll be a pain to get off without that impact set. Once the screw is out, use a rubber hammer and tap the backside of the rotor and it'll come off. If you don't have a rubber hammer, use a regular hammer and a piece of plywood to go between the hammer and the rotor.
**NOTE**
All of this was said assuming you have the calipers off

 

Well, I finally got the rotors off. Apparently the previous time the brakes were done the screws holding the rotors were never re-installed which was one less thing to worry about. The rotors on the other hand were a real b**ch to break free. After 15 minutes of wacking with a mallet and a hammer I finally got them off.

Thanks to everyone for all your help...

 

The best thing to remove stuck rotors/drums is a deadblow hammer. Pretty cheap and effective. Some penetrating fluid isn't a bad idea either. The caliper bolts dont have to be ungodly tight. The torque is probably around 35. The mounting bracket bolts should be pretty damned tight.

 

BTW, use some antisieze compound when installing the rotors/bolts. It'll save some effort when you do the next brake job. Wouldn't it have been nice if the guy before you had done that? Factory NEVER uses anti sieze...

 

the best thing about doing ur own brake/rotors, is no shop or anyone else will do a better job than u on them


thanks for clearing that out JimBlake.
