Front rotors.
How do I remove the front rotors on my 1998 dodge ram 2500 12 valve 4x4. I need to get to the ABS sensor.

The whole wheel bearing needs to come off, and you have to separate the rotor from the hub by removing the wheel studs... Not fun :dang:

Hub nut is 1 11/16 and u will need an impact wrench or 3/4 drive breaker with a cheater, I broke a 1/2 drive breaker easily. The 4 bolts behind the hub are 14 mm 12 point, if u dont have a hub puller then Unscrew them a few turns then put the socket on and use a hammer, might need an extention on the socket, I did. go around all 4 tapping and backing them out until the hub comes off. Once the hub is off use a brass or copper mallet or a chunk of softer metal as a buffer to hammer them out so u dont ruin the lug studs. They werent to bad to get out for me. Be carefull with the 4 hub bolts as they are a dealer item and last time i checked they cost $20 a piece. I asked if they were made of gold but the parts dealer at dodge didnt think that was funny. which made us even cause i didnt enjoy being bent over for a bolt lol. next time i will ask for a reach around.
