how to change rotors on 05 ford f150?

Answer 1

The only answer I can see that comes remotely close to correct is slipstream's. Since this is a 2005 F-150 you are referring to, it depends on whether you are referring to a 2WD, or 4WD if it is the front brake rotors you are asking. If it is the rears, simply remove the rear wheels, and the only tool you'll need is a 10mm wrench, pull the two caliper bolts off, and remove the caliper. Once this is done, the rotor should just "fall" off. If it is the front brake rotors, you'll need to remove the two caliper bolts to remove the caliper. Then you'll need to remove the caliper bracket with the pads. On 4WD models, the brake rotor should just "fall" off. On 2WD models, you'll need to remove the large nut that secures the brake rotor and pressed in, sealed wheel bearing assembly. Since this wheel bearing is a sealed unit, there will be no need to pack it, or seat it the way you would on the older style hub & rotor assemblies, that older trucks use. Installation is just the reverse of removal. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I assume your talking about brake rotors. Remove the wheel, remove the brake caliper, then remove the cotter pin on the large nut in the cener, remove large nut, slide rotor off of spindle. Unfortunatly the sealed bearing that is used on this new style rotor is made into the rotor itself. These rotors are now very expensive to replace, and without special equipment you cannot resurface while performing a brake job. Welcome to your new ford!

Answer 3

if ur talking about distribitor rotor.. they more or less quit using that in cars for years... so im assuming u mean disk brake rotor.. once u get the tire and brakes off.. remover the caliper.then remove the small cap.. nut cover.. cottor pin.. then the nut.. will be 2 barrinings.. one in front and one in back. of the rotor. .. simple remove the old rotor and reverse the process.. remember to add new grease.. check the barrings and do not put the nut back on with too much force

Answer 4

don't u mean back drums? usually front brake rotors and back brake drums. you may need to hit the drum with hammer to break loose. Just take it off and put it back in reverse order. if you forget the order, just compare to the other side that's still intact. If it really is a rotor in the back, it should be same as the front rotors.

Answer 5

i own a repair shop,and you need to jack it up remove the wheels from It,and than remove the brake caliper,and the bracket that holds it,and the rotor should come right off of it,there not bad to replace on that one,good luck i hope this help,s.
