Brake Problems

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 24-Apr-02 AT 02:30 PM (EST)]I did my 85 Bronco last year, also with manual hubs and there as a C clip in a little groove on the inside of the hub and a snap ring on the end of the shaft. If it is all funky in the hub like mine was it can be a little hard to see the C clip. I pair of dental type picks were very useful in getting it out. You'll also need to get a spanner nut socket to get the two spanner nuts off that hold the hub on (hopefully I'm using the correct terms). Hope this helps.

theres only one nut for each side. once you get it out, your rotor will pull off in one piece. grease your bearings!

I swear mine had two, one with a pin on it and one that had holes in it that mated with the one with the pin. What am I remembering wrong?
