2001 QX4 Replace Rotor Help

[qdao]

I need to replace my rotor and brakes this weekend, need help how to remove the rotor. After I take off 5 screws do I need to hammer the metal brushing off in the middle of the rotor in order for the rotor to come off? Thanks.

you need to remove the hub first, You remove the black cap,once the cap is off you will see a snap ring on the axle splines,remove that with snap ring pliers, then remove the 6 13 mm screwa around it, then pull the plate off,this will expose the bearing nut lock ring which is held in by 2 tiny phillips screws[you may need to wipe some of the grease away to see them] remove the lock ring then the bearing nut,it has 2 holes in it for a t-bar bearing nut tool, once that nut is off you then pull the whole rotor and hub assembly off, at this point you remove the 5 14mm bilts holding the rotor to the hub and slide the hub out of the rotor[depending on rust build up you may need to tap on it to break it free from the hub]
