2000 Dually rotors?
I'm fairly new to the dually world but was wondering how difficult it is to change front rotors on a 2000 f-350 dually. Stockers are warped and getting pretty thin. Is it anything like changing a cars front rotor at all with bearings and seals?

--If it's a 4x4, you will have to remove the "Hub Extender". It's held on by 8 bolts with torque specs at 130ft/lbs. It's MUCH easier if you have an impact wrench. If you do, you'll need a 6 inch extension to go through the holes next to the lug nuts. <br>--If you don't have an impact wrench, Have someone sit in the truck and stand on the brakes as you break loose the hub extender nuts. When reassembling, do the same. Have someone stand on the brakes after the caliper assembly is back on, and torque the bolts to 130 ft/lbs in a star pattern.<br> --If you don't have a second person, stick a crow bar diagonally through the lugnuts and brace it on the ground, that way the rotor can't turn.<br>--Being a 2000, it may need some persuasion to get the hub extender and rotor loose.<br>--The rest of the process is much the same as any other brake job. I recommend a Haynes or Chilton's manual for other torque specs. If you can't get one, just post here, I'm sure someone will get back to you. I can give you the complete list of torques if you request.

Here is a picture of the hub extender and an example of the 6 inch socket extension through the holes in the extender.<br> <img src="https://ultimateroadgearcom.hostexcellence.com/gallery/albums/ups/F350%20FRONT%20END%20MAINT/Image006.jpg"<br>This is NOT my picture, I found it elsewhere.

I'm pretty sure duallies, 2WD <B>and</B> 4WD, both have hub extenders in front. I read that a little late, sorry. The book I have, (Haynes) is kind of confusing in saying so. I just know the 4WD does since, well, I have one, lol.

I finally looked at my truck through the wheels and can tell I don't have extenders. So my question is, do the rotors come off like a car? Castle nut w/cotter pin, bearings and a grease seal on the back capturing the rear bearing? What tools do I need to get the Caliper off?

The front 2WD discs do come off like you are familiar. Remove the grease cap, wheel bearing retainer nut, spindal nut, outer bearing retainer washer and outer wheel bearing then it will come off. As for the caliper, just a set of sockets, a breaker bar, a torque wrench and some knowhow. 2 bolts for the caliper and 2 bolts for the caliper mount. Those are some hefty suckers and torque back to like 150 or 160 ft/lbs. Please have your truck secured on jack stands when trying to torque those back in place, you'll also have to become flexible for this job if it's not on a lift.

I changed both front rotors and the pulsation in the pedal got better but not 100%. So I have to assume it's the rear rotors also causing the pulsation.
Any help on instructions(miller_feed) on how to remove and replace the rears would be greatly appreciated.
