Rotors

Should rotors be loose fit on hub. 2001 F350 7.3 liter 4x4 Lock out hubs
Purchased Premum rotors and there seems to be about 1/8 to 3/16 play between stud holes and studs when wigging studs back and forth. Wheel is not on at this time when I noted the play in it. Any help

Left to Right when I grab the studs move them in the foward to reverse the play is between the studs and the holes in the rotor the studs go through

i dont know if its correct...but mine wiggle, until the caliper and pads are back on. on my new ones i put anti seize all around the inside of both front and rears. that way later on they can be removed easier. i have always had trouble getting the rears off of super duties and excursions. as far as your question...i think its fine, without seeing it. but like i said, mine also have "play" good luck

A little heat and a big hammer will make short work of stuck rotors. Just make sure you are supporting the weight of the truck VERY well. When I'm pounding on a truck that is jacked up I try to put it on wood cribbing rather than jack stands. Much more difficult to knock the truck off cribbing than it is to knock over a jack stand.
