rotors with ABS replacement
I read some old posts on this and do not have the $ to get the whole replacement unit so I need to get the rotors and get that ABS ring off. Is the best way to knock out the lugs and use them to drive off the ring or can I use a big 3 jaw puller somehow?If I use the 3 jaw puller I guess I would have to lay a piece of steel across were the grease seal is so the center bolt on the puller has somehting to put pressure on correct?Also, I guess The dpth that it goes back on is critical also?Thanks

I used a puller on my 94 when I changed the rotors, the ring isn't very hard to pull that way. I used a large socket in the center to push against, and the ring popped off with very little force required. Putting it back on went pretty easy too, just used a press to press it on, make sure it's straight and take your time.

I know money might be tight, but you'll be much happier if you buy the whole replacement rotor. If you don't, putting the rotor back on the hub is a huge pain, you'll warp the rotor for sure. You MUST have them turned before you install them if you go that route.
Been there, done that, my two cents, etc, etc.

I just used my hydraulic shop press to put the ring back on because it was handy, you can tap it back on with a hammer and block if you're careful and make sure you keep everything straight. Other than the ring, everything else should go just like your 89, not too bad a job.
