you got 'em already...

biggest factory rotors on a coil spring truck.

ec_dago_ryder 02-02-2010 10:00 AM

no! i mean i need one.
stupid ford torqued my lugswheel lo to tight so that when i went to put my new shocks on the wheel lock was cracked and i had to break the lug off
basically it stripped a stud and now i believe i have to get a whole new hub.

ec_dago_ryder 02-02-2010 10:05 AM

also if any of you seen at any junk yards? i live in yuma az and i can only find one junk yard and alll there rangers are really old

why do you need a new hub on a 2wd ranger?

the lugs come attached to your rotor, which has race and tapered bearings inside that are reusable

You can also get new lugs and press them in and out of your rotor. A decent shop would charge about 1/2 hr plus parts

You don't need a new disc, simply replace the wheel stud in question.


x2 to what Scott said above.

!!!!!!!!! i didnt know i could do that! how much do you think itd cost? because i had napa out here pull and press the snouts into my spindles and it cost 55$ also where could i buy the wheel studs?
because ford is so expensive

Fx4wannabe01 02-03-2010 03:54 PM

idk...call your napa.

wheel studs are only like $2 each. You can beat 'em into place using a hammer.

ec_dago_ryder 02-03-2010 09:03 PM

yah but then how do you pull them out?lol

If Ford broke them then why don't you have them replace them??

Well...you know how to remove the rotor. They're pressed into the rotor. Beat the bad stud out of the rotor with the outside of the rotor facing up. Then line up the new one on the backside of the holes on the splines, gently tap it in to get it started, then beat it in with the outside of the rotor on the ground.

You may or may not need to remove the ABS tone ring to do the job.
