rotor removal

1987 f-150, 2x4, I-6 4.9l
does anyone know how to remove the front rotors?
should they just slide off or are they bolted in somewhere?

IF I'm remebering correctly you need to pop the grease cap, take off the spindle nut, and slide the rotor off wheel bearings and all.

i have a trick for you when its time to take out the inner bearing leave the rotor on, after youve taken off the caliper and outer bearind then put the bearing nut back on (a couple of turnes will do) then as your sliding the rotor off let the outer bearing seal to hit the nut a hard pull or two and your seal and bearing will come off. this way you dont have to try a screwdriver ouch
