I am in the process of putting rotors, calipers, and pads on my 97 F350 with manual hubs. I have the hub/rotor assembly out. but I dont know how to seperate the two! Can someone point me in the right direction?
Take a big hammer and pound the wheel studs out from the outside inward then you can seperate the hub and rotor. hit them hard. One big hit does less damage than many lite hits

I got the studs out but cant seperate the hub from the rotor.
I take the same big hammer and set the hub/rotor on the back of the rotor with the outside (where the lock out goes) of the hub facing up. Then take a block of wood and place it across the hub and hit it HARD with the hammer. It will drive the hub down and out of the rotor. If the seal side of the hub hits your bench then block it up so it has room to get driven down.
Gettin them out was the easy part, now ya gotta putem all back in again.
Putting them back together wasnt too bad. But I do have one question, How tight should the hub nut be? The first one puts the load on the bearing and the second just holds that lock washer in right? I dont want to get them too tight but I dont want them too lose either. BTW, Thanks for those diagrams Tim!
I didn't watch but it was on the news. There was a big pile up mid race so they ended it early. Matt Kenseth won it.
The pile had nothing to do with why they ended it. They ended the race becuase of the rain.
And just for the record i don't think Jr. did anything wrong becuase he beat vickers to the yellow line, then vickers ran Jr below the line and Jr unintentionally hit the rear bumper of vickers car. if it were intentional i think Jr would have hit him farther up near the rear tire.
