Got a 79 curious how the front discs come apart to replace the rotor I'm assuming I have to remove the hub? Just wanted to double check before I dig into this thing

 

yes take it off as a unit then separate.

 

Ahhh OK thank you

 

Hilux is right take the hub and rotor and get a BFH and pound out the wheel studs and then tnere is two bolt to remove, if you use brass to pound them out you should be able to reuse them

 

Thanks gonna be getting into it probably Monday or Tuesday when I get to the part store and buy that big socket for the nut hub

 

Be keeping an eye out. Be here if you need help man.

At least being home hurt I can help here a little bit.

I have to do all this to the trekker eventually.

Take lots of pictures!!

 

Good luck finding that socket in a parts store

 

Ya your probably right gonna need it to shave it down huh

 

They've got it right, the hub comes off to replace that rotor. Might as well consider getting new bearings and rebuilding those knuckles while you've got it that far apart. And get some new wheel studs, because you likely won't get the old ones out without beating the living ˟˟˟˟˟ out of them and damaging the threads. And have a press ready to press in the new wheel studs because a hammer isn't going to seat them down all the way. Other than all that, it's a piece of cake!

 

Oh, and you'll want some good snap ring pliars and you'll need a 54mm socket to get those spindle nuts off. I actually use a 2 1/8" craftsman socket from sears for mine - fits perfectly.

 

OK thank you very mucj

 

This didn't work for mine cuz mine were seizewelded solid to eachother Lmfao

 

So did u end up replacing everything?

 

my rotors were still like 40 thousands over min spec so i ran it and the pads cleaned the rotors up
