Need help removing front rotor on 07 F-150 FX2
I've tried looking through the forum for posts that would help me but I keep coming to a dead end 
I notice that other posts don't have to deal with taking off a center bolt that is holding the rotor in place. I have removed everything in its way. The caliber is hanging on the side by a coat hanger. But I can't figure out what size socket I need to buy for the bolt. Its pretty big. Any tips on how to remove it or the socket size would be greatly appreciated. I had a problem removing my rear rotors but after heating it with a blow torch for 5 mins and gently tapping it with a hammer it came right off. Now I just have to do my front rotors.

You shouldn't need to remove the hub nut to get your rotor off. I just did the front rotors on my 06 STX and all you have to do is take off the caliper and then give it a tap or two with a hammer and it should come free. Maybe even spray it with a little PB Blaster or WD40 to break loose some of the corrosion.
