Daily Driver Down Need Help!

I need help removing the front rotors off my 4WD. The pads have scraped into the rotor and have to be replaced. I was told that a special tool is needed, but the local parts stores around here know what I'm looking for. Any help would be appreciated!

Do you have the hubs/rotors off?

After you get the hubs/rotors off you drive the studs out with a hammer, seperate the rotor and hub.

Then swap rotors, start the studs back in and finsih drawing them in with a lug nut turned upside down.

Only special tool to remove the hub is the socket to remove the spindle nut on a Dana 50 axle since you have an extended cab.
