How do i change the radio in a 1995 jeep cherokee sport?

How do you change rotors on a 1995 jeep cherokee sport?

  • Im replacing the front rotors on my girlfriends jeep, and iv gotten the calipers off...now shouldnt the rotor slide right off the hub? or do i need to mess with the big bolt in the center of the rotor? You know the one thats got a pin in it?

  • Answer:

    Nope, your going to need a BFH (big ------- hammer), and do some swinging. These rotors will almost break before you get them off, mine actually broke while removing them. They will "just slide off" after they are loosened from the hub, but be prepared to fight them all the way. These rotors are hubless rotors, meaning they do not have a wheel bearing hub in them. They simply rest on the wheel bearing hub. The large nut at the center holds the axle in, not the rotor.

In addition to above answer, LIGHTLY spray penetrating oil at the junction of the rotor and the center hub. Do not take or touch the axle bolt!! Leave it a small while and it will come off with a LIGHT tap. Beating on it too hard can crack a Cast Iron rotor or warp it. Good Luck DO NOT LISTEN TO RETIRED_US_NAVY_COMMAN.... The rotors are NOT part of the hub and bearing assembly!!

Remove the pin from the center of the hub nut in the center of the rotor. Remove the hub nut. The rotor should then slide right off. If not, use a soft face hammer, and tap each side from the back to loosen it, then slide it off. When reinstalling the rotors, don't forget to pack the bearings in the center of the rotor, with axle grease. Reinstall the hub nut, and tighten until snug, then reinstall the pin.

no! just beat on the backside of it with a rubber hammer and it should come off. it might be stuck so keep beating. donot mess with that bolt, it has nothing to do with the rotor comming off!
