Remove Brake Rotors on a 4WD Ford
Most four trundle guide Ford products cause a disk braking course, which includes a rotor, caliper and pads. These parts are considered routine prolongation items, and can be removed and replaced when worn. The rotor is a spinning friction surface that can be resurfaced until it is also thin to be considered protected. The sample backyard mechanic can remove the brake rotors from a 4x4 Ford in approximately thirty minutes per rotor.
Instructions
1. Lift the Ford with a floor jack and put the front frame condemn on one or amassed jack stands; the brakes can be removed one at a day, or both at the duplicate generation with the front mark lifted securely.

Some models may keep Torx bolts, or a bolt that requires a designated socket adapter. Once for free from the mount, the caliper and pads Testament slide off of the rotor.
Pull the circle from the lug bolts and place it aside. Contemplate the brakes for apparent damage to the friction surfaces. Unplug the ABS sensor from the wiring harness at the caliper socket.3. Remove the pads and locate the caliper onto a curb arm, or tie it up so that the brake lines effect not support the full weight of the caliper.
4. Remove the rotor by turning the spindle nut counterclockwise with the adjustable wrench. Then pull the rotor from the hub assembly. Some models could have cotter pins, or secondary nuts in the center of the rotor. With the spindle nut removed, the rotor comes free easily.
