front rotor removal 4x4
Once the tire is off ibelieve i see another 8 or so Nuts to be removed around where the locking hub is, Is this correct to remove them first to replace the rotors??

It would help to know something about the truck, but yes, you need to remove the hub.
Assuming you have a 1980 to 1994 or so truck, follow this link: http://www.off-road.com/ford/bigbron...balljoint.html
Obviously, stop when you get the rotors off.

i had a big problem getting the adjusting nut off, if you run into that problem you might have to rent an impact wrench. One of the electric impact wrenchs will work. But most people havnt had this problem, but i know im not the only one.

Ok, forget the last link, the front end is totally different on that truck. You don't have to touch the hub, and the bearings are sealed.
The good news is it's actually much easier, and you're making it harder than it needs to be.
Remove the caliper, remove the caliper bracket, and then remove the rotor. There's nothing holding it on.
