OK, I consider myself extremely mechanically inclined but I found something that just eludes me. On my 95 P/u I removed the wheel looked at it a bit then removed the "manual lock hub cap" lokked at it some more scratched my head then removed the bolts holding the locking hub body on the other part attached to the rotor. Then pry'd and pry'd and could not get the rotor off I thought WTF. So I called my local 4X4 shop they said use a bigger hammer so I grabbed mt 3lb. sledge and tried again. Won't budge I was told not to remove the center bolt that appears to hold the cv and bearings in place. How the hell do you get the rotor off? It is attached to the hub body which is then attached to the silver hub locking mechanism. hmmmm any ideas?

My 96 is the same as obscurotron's it's just a slip on rotor over the studs. If yours is the same as ours try puting a ballpean hamer ( ball in inbetween ) two of the studs and hit it with another hammer. Go all the way around the rotor this way. This limits the chances of buggering up the stud. The shock and tendancy of it to slightly dent the rotor will help free it up.

It appears the rotor is attached to the other plate whic contains the studs they are seperate otherwise there would be no option for removal... But this was the most helpful yet thank you keep em coming.

The only other help I can think of to offer you is to look at your new rotors if you have them already and get ideas to how they area mounted. A place for a race and a seal would indicate you have to tear more things down.

Here are some pictures of an old rotor off my 96. DSC01429front is the front view, DSC01430rear is the rear view.

The pictures really do not show the offset in the rotors if you would like one of that I can step out and get another shot.
