how to remove rotor

saint60 · Oct 5th, 2005, 02:40 PM

i need to change my rotor, but cannot figure out how to get the old one off. i took out the 6 bolts that connect the hub to the rotor and the caliper is off. do i need to dig into the hub to get the rotor off? thanks for the help. i'll introduce myself later on. looking forward to being a member of another great forum. i typically use ih8mud.com as i am a landcruiser a holic, but my wife wanted this pathfinder. it's fun. anyway-if you can help me please do.

Did you remove the circlip within the outer hub? clips on the driveshaft I beleive.

Hi Saint60,
After you remove the Auto/manual Hub, you'll need to remove the bearing lock nut and it should slide right out.

Not too sure what a bearing nut is, but don't bother to go to deep into the hub...there should be some phillips screw somewhere between the bolts for the tires, unscrewthat, and the rotor comes off. that is taking into accountthat you have a newere vehicle. on my 99.5 they just fall off when I take off my tires...Ok, they fall off with a hammer and about 3 good blows.
