Replacing rotors - I'm stuck! #899718 08/09/08 09:56 PM

Getting the Wheeling Fever
OK, through reading several messages, was able to get the rotors off the truck (96 T100, 4x4, sr5).

using the wheels as a brace, I was able to work the bolts off of the back of the rotors that I thought were responsible for holding the hub on...but things won't get loose. I don't want to beat on it if I'm still missing some sort of fastener...

How do I get the hub off the rotor?

found a recommendation for using a "pickle fork"...is this just done on the front side of the rotor between rotor and hub? just set the rotor straight up and down, and pound a pickle fork in there?

if you're not re-using the rotors, just put a chunk of wood on the ground big enough to keep the hat off the ground. Hit it (the rotor) a couple of times with a hammer and it will come off.

alright...success...found an old chisel and worked it loose, w/ some oil, and the "blocks of wood" thing...finally.

Time to repack the grease and reassemble!
