New Rotor's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

While I have been working on the truck I decided to buy new rotor's they should be here this week some time so I took the drivers side off first. Going to do one side at a time so I can't screw it up I hope.

Loosened the 5 lugnuts up then jacked the truck up and put a stand under it.
Safety first and always never trust a jack...peroid!

Took the wheel off then took the hub cap off to get the cotter key out. Took the calipor off next and set on the A-arm. Then took the cassel nut off and slip the rotor off. I decided to cleanup everything real good to and now just waiting on the rotors to show up. I think the rear seal was gone also there seems to be some of it left on the dust sheild which I took it off also to clean good. Got all new bearings and seals yesterday from O-Reilly's. Plain is to paint some to while under there.

I would have guessed that you had drop spindles on your truck.
This would be a good time to add them.

That wasn't seal remnants behind your dust shield. That was the rubber gasket for the dust shield. You grease seal is still in the rotor there.

Yea I saw that after I went back out to look some more. Never would have thought the dust sheild to have a rubber gasket on it. Thanks.

No dropped spindles I like the stance and the ride it has just like it is.

Could you have turned the ones you have or are they too worn?

Nothing is wrong with them just dressing the front up a little. I have been wanting to do this for awhile. Got a set of these coming.
