1. Loosen the lug nuts. 2. Jack up the tire. 3. Remove the lug nuts and tire--now rotor and brake caliper should be visible. 4. Use large C clamp, to clamp across the top of the disc brake caliper, placing one of the feet of the clamp on the disc pad facing you and the other on the back of the caliper. 5. Tighten the C clamp, which will depress the brake caliper pistons, making it possible to remove the caliper. 6. Remove the caliper bolts. You should be able to remove the caliper from the rotor (it may take some moving it back and forth to get it off). You can use a wire to suspend the caliper off to one side while removing the rotor. DON'T let it dangle buy the brake line, which can cause damage. 7. There are a couple of flat combination nut/washers. Use a flathead screwdrive to remove them, preferably by unscrewing them. 8. Once these are removed, the rotor can be removed by pulling it toward you and off the lugs.

Removing Front & Rear Rotors Well Guys... I remove my Front & Rear Rotors out of my 1998 Ford Expedition XLT. I rented a 3 Jaw Puller from Auto Zone and a bottle of PB Blaster and a sledge hammer it only took about one hour or less to take both off... The way I removed the Front & Rear Rotors was ... 1. I put lots of PB Blaster in the back and the front of the rotors to be removed. 2. I put plenty of tension with the 3 Jaw Puller... 3. I hit the back of the rotor with the sledge hammer... And it came right off... Hope this helps...
