4WD Rotors Replacement

I have a 1996 B4000 and driving home last night I have sqeaking brakes so got home to take a look and noticed a crack in my rotor of about 2 inches Know that is cutting up my pads but my manual shows nothing about replacing the rotors . How difficult is it ? Do I need any special tools ? I have done it before on 2WD but never on 4WD with on the fly engage . Are there any type of drawing that show and explain how to do this or should I go to repair shop . thanks in advance

The Autozone website has pretty good instructions for servicing brakes on the Ranger. Look under the Repair Info / Vehicle Repair Guides section.

If you have done brakes before, then it'll be a snap for you.

You are going to need a very large socket (can be rented) and a magnet to remove a key. You do not need to go to a shop; the average DIY guy can address this one.
