Have access to a press?

 

its easy.

remove tires/rims

remove caliper

remove philips with a punch impact(it looks like a big metal can with an male output for a socket) hit this thing and it rotates as it imacts..

remove axle nut

a slide hammer is needed to remove the rotor from the hub.

remove rotor

bangem out

bangem in

and reassemble


check ur wheel bearing whilr ur at it..

 

sorry im a little bit of a noob. but how do you take off the rotor. i already have the caliper off.

 

if you don't know how to take off the rotor; this job isn't for you. Put it back together and take it to a mechanic or find someone who's done it before and pay them to do it.


Edit* I'm not a noob and just had this process done and it was a complete bitch and a half.

 

u need 2 special tools.

slide hammer (this slide hammer hase a end with different bolt patterns to bolt to the studs coming out of the rotor.. u have to slide hammer it off..

u also need impact punch tool it is a unique tool when u hit the back of it it rotates loose or tight as its struck..do u see the two phillips in the rotor ? those need this tool.

You mean an impact screw driver? Sometimes that doesn't even work. I've had to weld 3/8" nuts to the screws to get them out. Seriously if you don't have a clue I'd just take it to someone

 

he's talking about the screwdriver that he hit with a hammer, and as you hit it (depending on the setting) it will loosen or tigthen some really tough to get out screws. helps to avoid drilling them out.

make sure when you use the slide hammer to be careful. When you know the hub is about to jump out don't let it hit the ground or you will break your bearings
