I can’t pull the rotors off of the front axle on my 98 Dodge 2500 4x4 with 24 valve Cummins. I took the calipers off and the 4 studs on the inside of the hub. I don’t know if I’m missing something or if they’re just that frozen. ---

get a three prong puller to remove the rotors, and replace them with new ones, but take a particularly good look at the bearings and races which may also need replacement. Is there a center nut on the axle? If you are doing this job at home, you should have the manual, even the Haynes will have pictures and most likely a parts breakdown to show you if you are missing something. ---

I removed everything and thought that maybe there was a snap ring I was missing but there isn’t one. I even tried a puller with an impact wrench. Apparently there is a tool that’s like a socket that you put on the the four studs on the inside of the hub that uses the power steering remove the rotors. ---

To remove the hub, re-install the hub bolts and turn them in fully, then back them out about 2 full turns and tap the bolt heads with a brass hammer. When the bolt heads strike the knuckle back them out 2 more turns and tap them again. When there is an adequate gap install a chisel and tap in to wedge the hub out. If you just want the rotors off a good slam with a wooden bat usually loosens them. Leave one lug nut on to keep the rotor from getting away from you. I use a 4 foot length of land scape timber. ---

If you are taking the hub out you will need to remove the nut on the CV joint.
