Front brake rotors

Are the front rotors on an 02 4x4 slide on, or does a bunch of crap have to be disassembled to get them off?

You're going to have to remove your calipers and the bracket they mount to, not a big deal at all.

I changed my brake pads in 15min with two tools, a breaker bar and a 1/2" ratchet.

haha excellent. On another note, I do have a wheel bearing that just went on me yesterday and is chirping like a freakin bird in my ear, so that'll be done when my brakes are.

Can't be my u-joints cuz those just got replaced.

I had an Isuzu Rodeo 4x4 and to replace the front rotors on that thing you literally had to pull the entire suspension and front axle apart LOL

btw, this will be my truck's 3rd set of rotors in just over 250 000 miles. Not bad.
