Does anyone know how to remove the front rotors on a 98 2500 to replace them. Maybe i am missing something but i sure can't figure it out. Any help w2would be great. thanks

 

Well, I'm pretty sure you take your wheels off then unbolt your calipers and the rotors should come off. Sometimes there are some little metal safety clips on the studs . but just break those off. If the rotor seems to be ceized on there a bit, use a hammer and a block of wood to tap it around a bit. That should get the job done.

 

I believe up to 1999, you have pull the whole hub off of the spindle; then drive out the studs in order to seperate the hub fron the rotor. 2000 and up's just slip off once the wheels, brake calipers and caliper brackets are removed from the spindle.

 

JPR is correct.

Well, I just went onto emsoffroad.com and they sell a free spin kit from 94-99, so I think it is the unit bearing style. I think 93 was the last year for the front hub with tapered bearings.

 

Thanks guys after about an hour on here searching , i think i got it figured out. This looks like more of a job then i want to get started this late in the day. so tomorrow I will work on it. I think i need some 12oz stress releaf right now.

 

Amen to that, brother...... I'm just counting the minutes here at work...........

 

well like a retard i went ahead and took it apart and the hole axle came out. i didn't think it wass suppose to do that. anyone?

 

Did you remove large nut that holds the hub to the spindle?

 

Just did mine if you do not losen the nut enough the axle will pop off!

You need to insert it back in as you move it around to match up the splines and it should pop back in. Mine leaked some diff oil for about 2 days but is fine now.

 

can i just pull the hole axle out and put it in the press or should i put it back in and use a gear puller to pull off the hub. I am worried that i might pull apart the baearings in the hub. Everyone on here has me worried about that now.

 

WEll got one side done and then stripped off the threads on the other side of the short shaft...don't ask me how i did it. but i am calling it a night then trying to find me a part in the morning, thanks guys, good night
