How to Remove Dodge 3500 Rotors

The Dodge 3500 truck is a big vehicle, designed to tow heavy loads and carry big objects. As a result, the braking system on the truck is more heavy duty than on lighter vehicles, and everything is a lot heavier physically. Taking off the rotors on a Dodge 3500 can take a little bit of extra work, but it can still be done at home with a little help and some hand tools.

Instructions

1

Use the heavy-duty jack to lift up the front of the vehicle and set it on the heavy-duty jack stands. Ensure that the vehicle is completely and solidly on the stands before working on the vehicle.

2

Take off the front wheels using a tire iron, and set them out of your workspace. If the wheels are too heavy for you to remove yourself, have an assistant help you take them off.

3

Unbolt the brake caliper from the steering knuckle with the 1/2-inch ratchet and socket. Lift it off of the suspension, and hang it on the metal hook. Hang the hook on the front suspension. Make sure that the front brake lines are loose so that they don't get damaged.

4

Carefully lift the front rotors off of the wheel hub using your hands. If necessary, have an assistant help you lift the rotor off of the hub so that you don't strain your back in the process.
