2000 GMC Sierra 3500 4x4 standard cab 5.7 litre single rear wheels,Please tell me How do get the front rotors off? Any help would be much appreciated.

FRONT END SHIMMY AND SHAKING COULD HAVE A TIRE OUT OF BALANCELOOSE OR WORN WHEEL BEARINGS, WORN OUT BALL JOINTS,WORN OUT TIE ROD ENDS, FRONT END NEED ALIGNMENT.BRAKE ROTOR WORN OUT OR WARPED, MANY THINGS WILL CAUSE FRONT END TO SHAKE SHIMMY.

That is usually caused by warped rotor discs. I know you said you just put on new ones, but has anyone put new tires or removed and replaced wheels on your truck. I have seen in the past, when they overtightin the lug nuts it warps the rotors.

All mechanics I have seen installing wheels have over torqued them.

You will have to figure out how they dropped it wether they replaced the front spindles with drop spidles or not and if they did how far did they go.There are many parts involved in dropping it the right way and all those will have to be replaced in order to get it to stand proud.

check wheel bearing... and make sure that the metal shims are installed with the pads. they prevent noises

number 5 cylinder is located on drivers side 3rd one back. right side 2 4 6 8, drivers side 1 3 5 7

Try opening up the caliper with a flat screwdriver thru the opening in the middle of the housing.pry on the rotor and pull towards you to push the rotor back.That should loosen it up enough for you to get it of the rotor.If that dont work you probably got a stuck caliper and have to release the brake line and do the procedure again. GOOD LUCK

yes

Check your brake pads your probably into the rotors

there is many kind of brake system of ur truck here i will send u everything about the brake and i hope its help

* All brake rotors have a discard dimension cast into them. Replace any rotor that does not meet this Specification. After refinishing the rotor, replace any rotor that does not meet the minimum or discard thickness specifications.

sounds like you have a worn wheel bearing which is replaced as a hub assembly the rotor just sits on the hub and wheel hold rotor tight
