How do i remove the rear rotor on a 2000 ford explorer xlt

  • csmithjr81 May 24, 2009

    this did not tell anything about how to take off the rear rotor i am sure we needed to know the process of removal on the rotor itself. at least I did. removing the wheel and caliper are easy but when the rotor wont come off that is where it gets tricky

Chock opposite front wheel
handbrake off
remove rear wheel
ensure emergency brake lever on the inside of the rear hub is toward the rear of the vehicle
remove the two 10mm bolts holding the brake caliper on
remove the caliper. one end lifts up first. see the brake pads. one end has a little lip, so lift the other end first.
swing the caliper and place it on top of the leaf spring for safety
remove the spring washers off the wheel studs (usually two)
remove the rotor. may need persuading with a wood block and a hammer!

Rear brake rotors

Did you get brake pads and caliper off but can't get 2 bracket bolts out? These need to be heated with a propane torch to melt the locktite on the end of the threads.

Sorry on 2004 ford exploer xlt 2 wheel drive. cant get rear rotor off.

most likely the parking brake shoes on the inside drum of the rotor are hanging up you can grind the heads off the nails that hold the assembly together and decide after you get it all apart if you want or use your parking brake most people throw them away.
