Clean and soak the hubs with PB Blaster. The biggest interference with getting the hubs off is all the crap that builds up between the rotors and hubs over time. Dead blow hammer helps getting the rotors off also since it won't bounce or damage by metal to metal contact.

is it a dually? if so, you have to remove the axles. there is a hub nut that has to come off and then the unit will slide off, hub and rotor in a 100lb unit lol.

beach you need a bigger hammer.

I have some "front end wobble" due to warped rotors. Need to upgrade and replace rotors and brakes (no big deal).

The rears are still the stock originals and actually still have pad left with 102,000 miles on them(wow)... but I will need to change them out just to do it.

Still looking for a job and hope to get them changed out as soon as I get a new job and can afford Powerslot rotors.

Thanks... I have not tackled the rears due to the extra "banging" needed.
