Im trying to replace my rotors and cant seem to get the old ones off. Is there a trick to it? I took the wheel, brake pads and caliper off, now what. I know its probably a stupid question but man do I need help.

If they are the original rotors they might have small metal clips on the studs that are used in assembly. Easy to over look. Hope this helps.

With the clips off the studs, sometimes you need to hit the rotor with a hammer on the area where the studs are. This could take one hit or several hits to break it loose. Make sure you cover the studs with your lug nuts, so you don't hit the threads.

clips on studs? I dont see any. I did try hitting the rotor with a hammer but nothing loosened up.
I do appreciate the help though. Maybe I just missed the clips

The front rotors on my 98 Durango were really rusted on the hub. I had to give them several hard smacks with a 3lb sledge to break them loose. As stated in the above posts be sure not to hit the wheel studs. Take your time and they will come off. Good Luck,
Mike S.
