Front Rotor Replacement

[93dual33]

I have a 93 Silverado 1t Crew Cab dually 4X4, 6.5L TD.

 

Could someone please tell me what is involved with removing and replacing the front rotors after removing the wheels and caliper?

 

There appears to be a number of bolts coming through it with nuts that look like they need to be removed to take the rotor off. I just don't want to mess up anything with the front 4wd.

 

Any feedback appreciated.

Hello, I suggest that if you havr never taken a 4wd brake system apart that you do not do so.

 

It take ceertain tools to take them apart and can be diffacult to put back togather if you have never done so.

 

That is just my 2 cents

They are not to easy to change on these models, After removing the caliper with a 3/8 Allen socket. The center nut must be removed, then there are (4)bolts coming in from the back side, I think they had 15MM heads. They will be very tight, and they should have tread locker on them from the factory. Remove rotor& bearing assm. Do not drop or hammer on the bearing assembly, you may need to brake it loose from the spindle housing with a dead blow or rubber hammer hiting lightly on the outside rim of the rotor after removing the bolts, if needed. Once you have the complete assm. off the all (8) studs must be pressed out, then the rotor will fall off the bearing assm. When replacing retighten the (4) bolts & axle nut per GM spec. Sorry do not remeber the torque setting on them.

After calling around I found a 4x4 shop locally that will do all the work including parts for under $300. Much better than the $700 GM quoted me. I'll be taking it in hopefully next week.
