Remove Front rotor on 2003 Explorer
Anyone know how to remove the front rotor on my son's 2003 Explorer 2wd. He wants to turn rotors, but is stumped on how to remove.
I haven't seen it yet, but he says there is a splined hole you can see through in the center of the hub?

I don't know about the 2WD, but I wouldn't think that it would be much different than the 4wd. I just did mine the other week, and after removing the wheel, the only other thing I had to do was remove the two caliper bolts and swing out the caliper; and then remove the two bolts that hold the caliper "ring" (not sure what the name is, but it bolts to the arm) and then deadblow the rotor off.

Thanks. After looking at the front brake assembly, I think it's the same for 2wd. I have always removed rotors by loosening spindle bolt and slipping off entire hub. I guess I have to learn the newer ways.
