Brake Rotor: Removal
- Raise and support vehicle. Remove tire and wheel. Remove caliper as previously described and hang from frame with wire. Do not disconnect hydraulic line.
- On front brake rotors, remove dust cap, loosen clamp lock screw, then remove clamp nut and thrust washer. Remove rotor and wheel bearings as an assembly, then separate.
- On rear brake rotors, remove rotor attaching bolts and remove rotor. Mark rotor and hub for reassembly reference. Remove hub-to-rotor bolts (if equipped) and separate hub from rotor.
NOTE:
If rear rotor cannot be removed by hand, insert two 8 mm bolts into attaching screw holes and alternately tighten bolts to press rotor from hub.
