how to separate rotor/hub on 96 4wd?
I can't figure this out..shop manual simply says remove disc(rotor) from hub.
Can't figure it out, neither can any of the parts store guys. My truck is apart and waiting for the new rotors! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The PB has been soaking in for a couple of hours and I'll try again in the morning....still don't see how the hub is going to pass through the center of the rotor, though.

Both rotor/hubs are removed and have the six bolts holding the rotors to the hubs removed. This picture is one of them soaking in PB.

Are you sure it's a 96, that hub/rotor is from a 2nd gen Runner, ie 89-95. If I remember correctly the rotor comes off from the back, so the hub doesn't have to go through the rotor. Anyway they are usually stuck together pretty good, try finding the crack between them and hammering a sharp chisel in, go round and do that in a few places. You can also try putting the rotor on blocks and hammer out the hub. Use a piece of wood so you don't damage the hub.

As far as I know these are the original hubs, but I bought my truck used. It is definitely a 1996, though. The hub has to pass through the rotor for it to come apart. The holes visible in the pic are where the rotor/hub attaching bolts go. The rotor is not threaded, the part of the hub behind the rotor is. Interestingly enough,though, the FSM does not show these bolts or even the fact that the rotor and hub come apart!

The FSM picture you posted is for an 86-95 truck. Not an 96.
Go here and look at some 96 FSM pages.

THIS is a 96-04 Tacoma.

Well, my shop manual is straight from Toyota for a 1996 T100. I talked to the parts guy and he said there are 3 different rotors depending on my VIN. I am going to talk to the service department now to see what they say.
