do the rotors just slide off like 2wd rotors or do you need to remove the cotter pin and bearings first? I ordered a new set of power stop rotors and pads but it didn't specify if a 2wd or 4wd and I think these won't work. Any help would be appreciated...!

The wheel bearing is part of the hub assembly. Take the wheel, caliper, caliper bracket, and the rotor should fall off. If it doesn't fall off, it has 2 threaded holes that you can put bolts in, it presses it off. I think mine were standard, either 5/16 or 3/8 standard thread. 2WD is a much more complex rotor design. 4x4 wheel bearings are sealed/not servicable.

so ^ this procedure is for a 4WD 2014?

Yes, or watch this lol. Except when he beats on the front rotor with a mallet, just insert old bolts into the two holes you can see in the old rotors.

Ok, I was to that step and couldn't get my rotor off. I'll try the bolt option this weekend. Thanks man, I haven't found anything that explains if any difference between 2wd or 4WD procedures.

Remove caliper and bracket. Take a bfh and a couple good smacks and the rotor will come off. Hit between the studs and not on the pad surface of the rotor.

tried that, I used a ball peen and even a 10 pound sledge. Damn thing wouldn't budge. I'll try my luck again

Wow I've never had a rotor not come off before and its what I do for a living lol. I usually use a 24oz bfh and they come right off. The bolts may help but you might need to tighten both at the same time.

The bolt holes is the ***** for getting rusted rotors off. Usually I tighten each bolt 1/2 a turn at a time and the rotor will pop right off. I had a stubborn rotor on my last truck that I couldn't get off with a BFH but the bolt holes worked nice and easy.

A little anti-seize between the rotor and hub does wonders.
