Ok started pulling my brakes off this afternoon and got down to taking the rotor of but i dont have a socket big enough. Does any body know what size i need for the retaing nut on a rotor for a 2000 1ton 2wd?

This is straight out of the book:

"On 2000 and newer models, the hub and bearing assembly is a sealed unit and is not serviceable or adjustable. The hub nut is not reusable."

Sorry man. I know it doesn't help, but was all I could find while looking for the nut size.

you don't need to remove the hub.. don't remove the nut unless you have to replace the hub (been there, done that)
the rotor should just come off after the calipers are removed... i used heat on mine.
a small propane torch is enough

a big hammer helps too lol

Ok I'm not much of a 24 valve expert but aren't the two wheel drive bearings serviceable and the big nut does need to be removed to get at them up till 2000?
If it's similar to the 12 valves the big nut is 1-11/16"

maybe before 2000

Ok ive gotta remove the hub the bearings bad. so i have to buy the whole hub assambly? I see autozone has a bearing listed for the front will this work or is it for a 4wd? It just seems odd that you would make something non servicable such as a bearing

johnh

does this look like what you have?
