WTF 95 Pick UP rotor replacement
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?

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.boophoenix said: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.
The studs and the wheel keep it there

boophoenix said: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.
Yes that is what the new ones well the old ones too both look this way.
thankyou

BMWTACO said:Nope, wrong. I've never changed rotors on a tacoma, but I've put them on my fj40s, 82,84,87,89,93, etc toyota pickups. The rotor does NOT slide over the studs on a 95, unless it happens to be a 95.5 tacoma.The rotors actually attach to the back side of the hub assembly. I just put rotors on my 89 last year. You do need to remove the hub assembly, then pry back the locking tabs on the spindle nut. Remove the two spindle nuts, and pull the whole hub/rotor assembly off with the outer wheel bearing. The hub will seperate from the rotor with a little banging and prying after you remove the mounting bolts from the backside of the hub.Clean all the old rust off the hub mating surface, put the hub into the new rotor and tap the two together with a large rubber mallet. Make sure the holes for the bolts line up. Once the hub is bolted to the new rotor, just repack the wheel bearings, and put it all back together.
Thank you sooo much thats is exactly what I neede to know, the Haynes manual lsay nothing of this and anything close is listed with the T100 model.
Thanks again

Anybody know how to remove the stuborn cone washers? seem to be bonded to the hub body?

gambrinus said:Put a brass drift on the end of the stud and wack it good with a 3lb+ sledge hammer. The cone washers will pop out.
And in the event I dont have a brass drift?
Aaron
Yes but In all the repairs and projects I have done I have never heard of such a thing , a brass hammer yes but a brass drift? hmmm nope never heard of it . Anyhow what does it do? does it slide over the threads ? then what? I used my punch and my sledge to hit the heads of the hub body bolts but to no avail! these bastards dont want to seem to budge. Currently the truck is in the air so if anyone can come up with something great if not ill have to put it back together again and take it to a "Certified Mechanic" this sucks......gambrinus said:Go buy one... I thought you said that you were "extremely mechanically inclined"?
Thanks Guys

Sucesssssssss
Yeah so after a quick search on Pirate4x4 and yota tech found some good articles but better yet pictures! "My fav" And one said hit the metal just behind the cone washer but still on the hub body hmmm I thought I had hit eveywhere except there so I went back outside and put the nuts for the hub body back in place as to not lose the cone washer and smacked it. Wouldn't you know it worked like a charm so now m brake job is done. But I must have missed at some point and fugged up either one of the nuts or the threaded bugger that the cone washer was on. How hard are these to replace if at all replacable?
Thanks guy for all your help I have pics in case anyone else has this problem!!!
Oh yeah and I repacked my bearing and it was happy !

PreTacoma84 said:they are replacable, you just have to call your local toyota dealership and pick one up, best to get the nut while your there.
All i can say is atleast you were doing breaks, i had to tear all mine down to replace a front wheel stud, and also buggered up a stud. its worth it if you replace the 2 gaskets. one behind the dial and one behind the chrome hub lockout.
Right on my friend thank you I also seemed to have lost a cone washer as well "shit" huh anyhow have a great day.
