Guest Drewz Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 If there are no retaining screws in the front than they are just siezed/rotted in place. They are hubcentric which means the center is machined to fit precisly onto the hub. When you are sure there are no nut or bolts in the face of the rotor holding it on than it needs to be "persuaded" off. Grab a dead blow, preferably, and hit the back of the rotor as you turn it after each hit. If that doesn't budge it than grab a sledge. To be sure there is nothing holding it on than call your local GM dealer and talk to someone in service. They will verify this for you as well.

383 240z Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 if it is the same as my 89 K2500HD and I think it is. you need to unbolt the axle nut the four boltd from the rear side and pull the entire hub.rotor,bearing assy. out of the truck and press the studs out and the rotor will fall off. then you place the new rotor on and press the studs back in. I would put new studs in if it was my truck. sorry for the bad news but I hope it helps. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
