Remove brake rotors
1999 Ranger 3.0, 4x2
Need to get rotors off and to the shop for turning. Have calipers removed and old pads out. Can't get rotors off because housing is still in the way. Haven't opened grease cup yet. Is there a nut in there to remove?

Caliper bracket?
Thanks, Rockledge. I assume by your answer that the bracket holding the caliper is not a separate part and it will come off with the hub. I'll print out your steps and go down and resume work.

brackets
Ooops!
Brackets were separate part. Since I never had rotors off in 63,000 miles, I nearly pulled the truck off the jacks breaking the bolts loose. Now to get the rotors turned tomorrow.
