Just as title says I can't get my front rotors off. I used PB Blaster and a dead blow hammer, but no luck.. The rear rotors came off easily. Also, anyone no anyway to get scuff marks off chrome rims? thanks

A friend of mine said some fords have the hub, bearing and rotor are all one piece on the fronts. that you need to take the black cap off and then remove the cotter pin and nut then slide rotor off. Is this true? thanks

i'll be replacing my rotors in a couple of days. I'll let you know how I get them off if you want to wait that long

Thats how it was done on my 88 thunderbird, but I dunno about on a mustang. I am gonna do the brakes soon so I will know but I am not sure atm.

Is there a black cap? It should come off real easy, and have tons of wheel grease in it. Make sure you get fresh grease and keep it SUPER clean or you will have problems down the road.

No need for taking off the hub. They should just slide write off. Mine did.

if it is similar to 99gt fronts, the bearings are "permanantly lubricated" so the cap stays on.....mine did take some pounding to loosen up but they eventually came off. good luck.

If you don't intend on keeping the rotors, just rock the biotch w/ a big f-cking hammer like it stole something from you.... It will eventually free itself from the hub....

If it doesn't, and you can put the car back together so it's safe to drive, put it back together, take it for a spin, and really heat up the brakes.. Apply hammer... Rotors come off...


Some rotor companies put threaded holes on the hub part of the rotor, so you can put a bolt in, and essentially thread the stuck rotors off the hub.. If your's are stock, they most likely DON'T have these holes...

the rotors should fall right off. Just beat the crap out of them until they fall off, assuming you are replacing them

If y'all got a torch, tickle them around the center where the hub contacts the center of the rotor. The f-series and Expeditions are mother-F#$%@rs as well. Heat and beat will GIT-R-DONE.

Gee thanks Ford [sm=chairshot.gif],

My wife's Expedition needs front rotors and I WAS going to do it myself. I think I just changed my mind.
