Brake rotor stuck to hub

Well everyone the job is done and I wish I used a bigger hammer earlier . I ordered new wheel hubs and they sent me the wrong ones . I can’t even find them online so I took a 2/12 pound hammer and got to smacking and broke it right off

 

There we go

 

With just my luck I broke a stud after it all but that wasn’t too bad since everything was easy to get off . I just hope someone that got. A5 lug sees this and just get to hammering on that rotor i pb blaster tf out of it too . Then once I saw it splitting off got a pry bar and popped it off . Feels good lol . My first brake job ever and this wassnt the easiest but it’s done

 

Finally

 

oh yeah man, you need a bigger hammer. 4 or 5 lb drilling hammer.

 

They sent you the wrong hub or you ordered the wrong hub? When I was looking to see if I could find something quick for you there was no 5-lug hubs for sale that were new. Just the ones previously linked that were used and over priced...

Got a link for the ones you ordered?

 

I've done brake jobs on all sorts of vehicles over the last 30 years or so and "wasn't the easiest" is not how I would describe this ordeal LOL. Congrats on perseverance and gettin 'er done.

 

My negotiator's, from the kicking and screaming squad....

never failed me yet.......




In fact we danced monday night...with that nut rusted to a torsion bar stud that was pressed in and spinning free....
.....rusty SOB......

 

Another tip....if you buy non oem suspension stuff.....
....expect it not to hold to RUST as well as the original toyota pieces....

and some of these rust bad.....especially the studs and nuts.......

Mevotech comes to mind....

 

Listed as 5 lug thought it was the right didn’t check picture as it had 6 lugs in it

 

I've ordered parts for 5 lug at numerous retailers.....autozone....napa....advance...
and they sent 6 lug......inner tie rods come to mind.

So if you order 5 lug stuff.....better be local and keep that receipt.....unless its one of the toyota online dealers...

 

New Toyota hubs seem to be available for 5 lug trucks- am I missing something?

Good Job OP !

 

It's not that they're not available at all, but that's pretty expensive, especially if you compare to what the aftermarket has for the 6 lug trucks.

 

Sure, but it's just silly to say the parts aren't out there.. when they are. And honestly, $450 bucks to change something that's lasted 20+ years, and will last the rest of the life the truck is pretty cheap. And ultimately it's the thing your wheels attach to.. I wouldn't skimp on it anyway.
