Warped Frt Rotor

RH Front Rotor is warped pretty good and driving me nuts.

Is is a big issue to get it off to have it turned? (2004 4x4 F350 Manual Hubs)

Thanks

just remover the caliper and the rotor should slide off. by the way inconsistant torque on the lugs will cause this. never use a impact to tighten lugs on a disk brake setup. only use a torque wrench.

So no need to dis-assemble the front hub to get the rotor off the truck?

No ,you don't
Is the truck still under warranty? 3/36
Take it in to your dealer
A warpped rotor can be caused a sticking caliper(heatfrom not retracting) and over tightening of lugs.
Also by a pads slider shoe not being lubricated properly
