How do you get front rotor off???
How do you get the front rotor off?? I am trying to replace the front disk rotors on a '94 Explorer 4WD. I order to get the wheel bearing nut off you have to remove a key way? from the axle. The opening is very small to get it out. The manuals say to use a magnet. I can't get inside to get it out and the magnets I have won't pull it out. Is there a special small flat magnet available from Ford or something to get this key out? Can't do a thing until this is removed. Any suggestions?? Thanks.
P.S. If this is important or not it is an XLT w/ auto hubs.

Move the lockring SLIGHTLY sometimes it shifts and traps the key. it should slide right out with a reasonably powerful magnet. If not just pick at it with a penknife or pick. And always hit it with PB Blaster if it looks a little crusty
