Can anybody tell me how to get the front brake rotors off? I have removed the large axle nut and the rotor just won't come off.

not sure, but i believe the rotor is a press on fit, tapping around the edge with a deadblow hammer should break it loose from the rust that's probably holding it on, re-installing is just tapping it on the hub to hold it, the lug nuts provide the torque , had this scenerio with my toyota tacoma rotors. anybody else???

put the axle nut back on and get a bigger hammer and some penetrating oil(wd-40) soak down where the rotor sits on the hub then procede to beat the hell out of the rotor. i had to heat one with a torch once to break it free. have fun
