I have a 2000 Silverado K-2500 (old body style) and need to replace the brake rotors. How is it done? Does the hub/bearing assembly have to be removed also? Any tricks or special tools???? Any help would be appreciated.

The rotors come off the hubs. They might be rusted on but they come off.

On my '98 Sub K2500 (GVW 8600 lbs) the hubs and rotors are a one piece unit. Along with the spindle nut there are 4 bolts in the backing plate.

Ya, they donr just pop off, i got an 8600 k2500 too, i did my rotors a couple months ago and u got pull the hub and rotors off as one unit and knock the studs out
