    You should turn the wheel after removing the tire to get a better acces to the bolts.....also not sure it is a great idea to grease the tire bolts.......you should also put anti-sease grease before installing the new rotor.

    Good video, very informative. I thought you could have made things a little easier on yourself if you turned the steering wheel to the left (when working on the pass side brakes) so the bolts would be more easily accessed. Turn to the right when on the driver's side.

    I have a 2011 Ranger and I just bought new rotors today at advance auto parts.the rotors I got came with the lug nut bolts on the rotors. Obviously I got the wrong rotors?

      @curbsidemechanics3040  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      From my understanding, yes. Is yours a 4x4 or a 2 wheel drive? That could make a difference in the front rotor

    Informative video but, no anti seize on the hub before putting the rotor on?? Thats gonna be a pain in the butt to remove next time around. Also, studs should never be lubed up because it affects the torque values when tightening the wheel lugs/makes them prone to over tightening or worse... potentially coming loose over time. You should have also checked the sliders as those can become seized up if they are not lubed.

      Do you mean the rotors that have the wheel studs built in to them?

    • @knottreel
      @knottreel 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ​@@redneckfarmer6584 That's exactly what I mean. The studs are a part of the rotor and the rotor is held on by the axle nut. Looking back on it, I guess its not a lot of extra work and gives you an excuse to change the bearings while you are doing the brakes.
