Chilton manual for C3500 HD

[evm]

I'm looking for a manual that will guide me through the process of removing and replacing my brake hub/rotor.  I have a 1999 Chevy 2wd C3500 Dually crew cab with the big block gas motor..  The rotors and hub are one piece, im trying to figure out how to remove them from the shaft.  Picture of hub below.

The full-service manual for your truck is probably available via alldatadiy.com via online subscription.  paper version may still be available via helminc.com, and ebay/amazon.

 

Sounds like you are doing the front's (as rear are likely still drum brakes).  For my truck (GMT800, so it could be slightly different for you), I have to:

-remove the hub extention (marking both so you can reassemble them with the same alignment)

-remove the brake caliper and brake caliper bracket

-remove rotor retaining push nuts if present

 

Rotor can now be removed from the hub.

 

Don't know what else has to be done to replace the hub itself.

Ok but it's like I said.  The rotor and hub are one piece.  The do no come apart.  Which is the reason I'm having a hard time finding any help on the net.  Most people don't have this set up.

Well, the FSM will show you how it comes off and is reinstalled.
