It’s easier on Fords… You don’t have to remove the whole hub/bearing
assembly just to change the rotor.
not to be snied, well ok I’ll be snied .. who designed this crap … I
appreciate the video explaining all this, but really could have been
designed better and easier to work on … thanks for posing this, I was
getting the big hammer ready . ;))
When you put it back on, make sure you coat the mating surfaces with
never-seize so you don’t have trouble removing it the next time!
@bhstone1 If you listen carefully, you can hear him talking.
Great tip for a DIY but i like to use these!!!!!!!!!!!! PS love your video’s
Cool Tip
OTC makes a tool to remove those rotors !!
@sbakar I remain unconvinced. 🙂
@IAmMoparNut I have this problem right now and the rotor won’t come apart
from the bearing it gets stuck on there real good. I can’t get mine
separated from it.
@DAQUAN88 Great idea, thanks I’ll have to try that.
Not like making life difficult .
Thats a great tip.It definitely makes it easier.I like the fact that you
don’t have to beat the rotor and put allot of unnecessary pressure on the
bearing so you can reuse it.
Captive rotors are the most tedious design!
@dmorley100 they make one for the 03 and up lisle makes a air hammer
adaptor for these.
Nice tip I may have to use some day !
Oh, and btw, why are you removing the bearing to replace the rotor? You can
remove the rotor separately ( and relatively easily) without ever touching
the bearing.
Also for all those finger fretters- you can leave the socket on the bolt
and the extension in the socket to hold it in place without your hand being
in there. It also enables you to do it with just yourself.
Wont heating ruin the bearing though?
Too dangerous
Lisle makes a couple of air hammer bits that fit over the head of the bolt
and hammer on the flange to loosen dodge hubs. With a decent air hammer
I’ve never had a problem, and then its a one man job.
Great tip. Could you do a similar video on how to remove stubborn rear
brake drums from a 4th generation (2001-2007) Dodge Caravan? I spent 3
hours beating one with a hammer just to remove it, luckily for the customer
I didn’t charge for the extra time.
GMC/DODGE VEHICLES MOSTLY THE ROTOR AND HUBS ARE LIKE THESE
@jamiedodd1991 you can use an air hammer with a flat tip bit!!!! Work’s
great!!!!
im ganna go try this right now…snap on!
@sbakar Yes. 🙂
Hold that extention with a long needle nose pliers
Works far better (and safer) by using a small hammer head instead of
extensions…
Why not just get a hydralic ram and push it off
Lisle hub removel tool 38210 (Google it) Ps Sorry Youtube wont let me post
