Seperating of hub and rotor
To separate the hub from front rotor on 71 dish brakes, Do I just need to press out the lug bolts to separate the two or do I need to press the center hub off as well also. Original combo since Blazer was new. Thanks for any input........... Mike

Re: Seperating of hub and rotor
You have knock out the studs first. Easier if you have a brass hammer. Put the brass hammer against the stud then with a larger ball peen hit the other end of the brass. 2 hits the stud should be out. The hub should fall away from the rotor at that point unless major rust has ensued

I use a large press to put the studs back in
