hey guys. i got a 5 speed mazda b4000 with locking hubs up fron and im trying to replace the ball joints (top and bottom) and the u joints. how do i go about taking of the rotor on this. is there some sort of snap ring or something because they do not seem to pull off.
thanks alex

not sure but should be one of two ways. either the rotor is froze on there or the rotor is part of the hub assembly and the spindle nut must be removed in order to remove the rotor. probably the latter of the two if i was a betting man.

or..........there could be a screw holding the rotor to the hub if they're OEM.
