ok guys and gals i currently own a 96 f150 4x4 eddie bauer edition and my question is that i need to replace the front rotors on the beast and i am wondering how to remove them...thanks.

 

1. Lift front tires off the ground.
2. Take front tires off.
3. Take calipers off.
4. Take your auto/locking hubs off. Allen wrench I believe.
5. You'll need a spindle nut socket 2 1/4. It has 4 teeth on it. Remove the spindle nut and the rotor practically falls off.
6. The disc and hub (part with the lug nut studs) comes apart its pressed together. Take it apart press the new disc on.
7. If you don't want to hassle with taking the rotor apart you can buy complete rotors
8. Reassemble

Your going to be better off replacing just the rotors... If you buy the combo hub/rotor it will be an arm and a leg. Find a shop press or someone that will do it, incredibly easy and both can be done on about 30 minutes.

 

I know it's like $30 each for just the discs, and like $150 each for the complete rotors. If you have a second ride you might be able to have your old ones turned. If there not too bad.

 

The rotors for my 88 are $37 at Napa $220 for the rotor/hub combo. There's a minimum width of the rotor for turning. Usually it is stamped somewhere on the rotor. If turning it will cause the rotor to go below limits most places wont do it.

 

thanks everyone for the help..it seem's i will be buying the complete hub assembly for the beast...the cheapest i found the hub assembly's was $77 so that is my project for this weekend...

 

Replacing hub assemblies are a bit more work, but its also a good idea to clean up the bearings, hubs and re-grease them since that part is largely neglected, especially for a 4x4.

 

I was going to say go ahead and replace them there not all that expensive. And it's a commonly neglected, important part of your truck.

 

$77 each for the hub/rotor is a great price. Where did you find them for that price?
