The rotor on this truck is what they call a floating rotor, there is no nut holding it on. Once you remove the caliper from the truck a few swift hits on the face if it should jar it loose. Hope this helps

roaddevil75 is the only correct answerer so far. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE AXLE SHAFT NUT. Once the caliper and bracket are removed, there is NOTHING holding the brake rotor to the hub, other than RUST. Ford in their wisdom, chose to manufacture their brake rotors as an interference fit to the hubs, making it necessary to remove with a sledge hammer. It is not uncommon for the brake rotor to shatter into multiple pieces, once it's finally removed. Take care not the damage the hub and bearing assembly (BIG money) when doing this job. Clean hub surface VERY thoroughly, and apply liberal amounts of anti-seize before installing new rotor onto hub. Hope this helps.

immediately's vehicles and vehicles require metric sockets. Off hand i could say you like a million/2 tension, sixteen, 17 and 18 mm sockets to do away with the calipers and slider pins and a a million/2 tension sixteen" length ratchet or breaker bar. 3/8 techniques do exactly no longer make this device with brake restoration recently.

A lot of these spindle nuts need specialized tools. I know my 78 F-150 4x4 does. Go to your local auto parts store, and ask them if they can rent you one fitting your application, or check out this website if you want your own:

Good luck!

Can't you just try until you find one?
