ok i kno i dont have a ranger but still i need help ASAP. i pulled all the bolts off to my rotor n it still wont come off. i beat the crap out of it with a hammer n still nuttin anything for advice i need it like yesterday thanx

 

It is put on w/ loctite, so make sure that your pulling the right way. It will be pretty hard.

Check to make sure your brakes aren't applied. Start the truck to cycle the brakes to losen them up.

Also make sure that your rotor is not off kilter making it harder to take off the caliper.

IM me if you need more help, I'll be home later on tonight

 

he is trying to remove the rotor not the caliper.

 

try a gear puller......did you remember the hub nuts?

 

ooops, yea what maurice said, if it has nuts, remove em...

 

my jeep axle doesnt have anything holding the rotor on. it just comes off. but i dont have CVs

 

yea he has an a-arm suspension like you used to have in the Jeep now.....they dont have a solid axle anymore except in the Wrangler's...

 

no his is solid axle. it should be. the grand cherokees have CVs instead of Ujoints on the D30

 

his grand still has a solid axle, they didnt swap to IFS on the grands till the newest gen.

Edit: damn zabeard beat me to it.

 

yea i got a solid axle in it and i have cv's instead of u joints which is what i want. but all the hub buts are off and the bolts on the back of it are off so i guess i gotta keep beatin the crap out of it. im tryin to avoid n goin to rent a puller just cause i have no money n dont wanna ask my mom for some

 

if anyone wants to call me or IM me my number 863 661 4958 n my aim is mrbizkit863 i need help asap

 

hmmmm i thought they switched that Gen......interesting...

 

yea this is the gen they swaped ifs in...

 

sounds like you need a bigger hammer... somtimes you have to keep turnin the wheel 1 way and the crap outa the back thats open... then turn it the other way and beat the crap outa that side.. thats about the only way to get some rotors off...... any1 tried 98-00 f-150s and expeditions? they are a royal PITA.. iv had to beat them so hard that iv accually damaged the hub assembly

 

thats what im tryin to refrain from doin it.....so im beatin it hard but dont wanan beat the **** out of it. heres a few pics

 

check the studs again, look for small metal clips. I know some D30's from the factory had these really really thin metal clips holding the rotors on. if not then use a mini sledge.

 

is that a stock knuckle? If so i didnt realize they went to a cross over steering setup.

 

yea its the stock knuckle but if i had it my way with money there would be a 44 under it. i checked all around 100 billion times...theres no clips or anything. i sprayed PB on it lettin it sit for lil then im goin back to hammereing...if i cant get it off i will take it to the dealershiup i work for n have them do it

 

pft.... you work for a dealership just wack the **** out of the rotor and get a new if you mess it up.

 

lol i dont have the money to spend tho...n its a nissan dealer haha but i kno i could get it fixed...i just want the **** done cause i have to make a 3 hour drive tuesday n i dont have the money right now with a truck payment n cell phone payment comin up so yea im tryin to do as much as i can with out spendin much

 

is there any C-clips that are in a groove on the spindle?

 

i dont have a spindle i have a knucle and no theres no clips i have done thru check bout 20 times over n over lookin and lookin n theres nuttin..i have pb sittin on it right now. i guess if i have to i will break the rotor n buy a new one but im really tryin not to

 

you can grab a used rotor from a junkyard for dirt cheap. A brand New rotor from Autozone is 39.99. just wack that thing till it comes off.

 

yea i dunno wtf im goin to do i just want it off n get the damn boot changed but o well **** happens right?

 

heres a pic from the front if yall want it
