Ford Repair: 2004 Explorer Brake Rotors, disc brake rotors, ford explorer eddie bauer


Question
What is involved in removing the front and rear disc brake rotors on a 2004 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.6L V8 4x4? Do you have to take apart the hub to remove the rotors or do they just slide over the hub? Just curious to know before I purchase the parts and set it up on jacks.

Answer
they both just slide off hubs .... front no problems just take cailper off and then the anchor and done, the rears sometimes  get stuck on the ebrake shoes ... if they do then behind the backing plate on the lower part there is a circle that u need to punch out , to take the adjustment off the e-brake shoes, and thenit should be able to take out , sometimesteh linning on the ebrake shoes fall off, then if u have to change that it will alot of fun ,let me know
