Removing 4X4 Front Rotors
I have to do a brake job on my 94 F150 XL. It's 4X4 with manually locking hubs.
EDIT
How do I get this off? They make a tool for it? RH or LH?

Should be able to borrow a tool from Advanced Auto or Autozone. Someone else may know more about it then me though. I have yet to find the time to do mine yet so I will be watching this thread as well.

Go to a parts store and but the axle nut socket for a Dana 44. If you own the truck it is worth it to buy the tool. It is right thread so it will thread off like a regular nut. Under it is a lock ring and then another lock nut like this one with a little keeper tit on it. When you put it back together make sure you put that first nut in correctly so the lock ring will hold it.

Gotta drive the lug nuts out to separate the hub from the rotor.
Should the hub fit tight against the rotor during assembly or will it get sucked up then the lug nuts are tightened?

You got this. They are really very easy. I wish the new trucks were still like this so I did not have to deal with the stupid sealed hubs.
