Newbie needs help with brake disc removal

Is there any place I can obtain a schematic of a Dana 50-IFS? I need to remove the front rotors from my 1997 F250, 4X4, 7.3L, (Automatic Locking Hubs). The two manuals I've purchased so far are not clear, and I'm looking for a step by step procedure to make sure I do this right? I can probably get by with just putting on the new brake pads, but I'd like to check the run-out and thickness of the disc.

Any suggestions or words of warning would be appreciated.

This is my first brake job on a 4X4, and I'm a bit apprehensive about tearing into it.

I got one from my 95 factory CD and have it cut and pasted to an MS word document. If you will send me an eMail with your eMail address independant of this site I will send the picture to you. I cannot post my eMail address here in a thread or send eMail through the site with an attachment.

Let me know if I can help.

I just realized you probably do not have eMail priveleges yet on this site. I have sent you an eMail through the site, if you will reply to me with your eMail address outside this site I will send you the exploded view of the Dana 50 you requested. It will be an MS Word document.

Thanks believer45.

Now, if I can just get my ISP provider to let me access my mail account to get the info, I'll be doing even better. MSN and I are going to have it out.

Thanks Again

believer45: I received the exploded view and it worked great. I was able to get it apart, rotors turned, and everything back together working fine.

Thanks for the help.
