I''ve got a 1995 Trooper with a stripped lug stud on the rear rotor. Is there an easy way (LOL)to pull the rotor off? The only way I see it is to pull the caliper and then break the 4 nuts at the shaft housing.[img]smileys/smiley7.gif[/img] Seems like an awful lot just to pull a rotor... help... please?

 

JUST PULL THE CALIPER AND THE CALIPER BRACKET AND THE ROTOR SLIDE RIGHT OFF, OF THE AXLE , JERRY

var SymRealOnLoad;
var SymReal;

Sym()
{
window.open = SymWinOpen;
if(SymReal != null)
SymReal();
}

SymOnLoad()
{
if(SymRealOnLoad != null)
SymRealOnLoad();
window.open = SymRealWinOpen;
SymReal = window.;
window. = Sym;
}

SymRealOnLoad = window.onload;
window.onload = SymOnLoad;

The caliper and caliper bracket are off, the rotor is not "sliding right off". I''ll try some gentle persuasion with a rubber mallet tomorrow. But will that get me to the studs? Or are they pressed through the axel hub?

 

Spray WD40 and let it soak for a few minutes....

then gently hammer away.

 

Thanks to all, I got the rotor off with some "persuasion". I did have to take apart most of the parking brake shoe just to get barely enough room to press out/in the stud. What a pain in the [img]smileys/smiley7.gif[/img]... (well you know where), but this forum and some of the links posted made it do-able. Thanks again.
