Front brake rotor removal

Hi,

Yes, they will come off together. Here are the directions specific to your vehicle. I'm adding them because based on the differential used, the axle could be different. The attached pics correlate with the directions.

2. Remove the locking hubs.

3. Remove the wheel lug nuts and the wheel and tire from the hub and rotor assembly.

4. For vehicles equipped with Dana model 44 front drive axle and manual hub lock, remove the adjusting nut with spanner locknut wrench. Apply inward pressure on the locknut wrench to disengage the adjusting nut locking splines and turn the nut counter-clockwise to loosen and remove the nut from the spindle.

For vehicles equipped Dana model 44 with automatic hub locks, Dana model 50 and model 60 front drive axles, remove the outer locknut, lock washer and inner locknut with spanner locknut wrench.

5. Remove the brake caliper and secure it to the frame to prevent damage to the brake hose. To prevent damage to the hose or the caliper, do not let the caliper hang only by the brake hose.

Hi,

Usually, heat is the cause. Chances are it is dragging a bit, getting hot, and then locking when you apply more pressure. The heat causes expansion.

I have to ask a favor. If possible, could you copy and paste this question to a new post. We are trying to keep the threads specific to one topic to help others. I hope you understand.
