    How to change rotors:

    1. Jack car up and support with jack stands
    2. Remove wheel
    3. Remover calliper
    4. Remover calliper bracket
    5. Remover dust cap(use a thin chisel to work at the edge to pop it off
    6. Remover cotter pin and cap to unscrew nut (55mm socket i think)
    7. Slap rotor to pop out front bearing
    8. Replace axel nut
    9. Firmly pull rotor strait out to remove rear bearing
    10. Remover the 5 bolts holding the rotor to the hub
    11. Place the assembly in a press to puss the hub out the rotor
    12. Slide new rotor over hub and place all 5 bolts
    13. Regrease bearings and place back in the hub and regrase axel
    14. Reassayable it
    15.rotor should spin freely after putting it back together
    16. Clean rotor off with break clean(not cleaning can cause uneven wear or weak breaks

    To properly break in new breaks
    1. 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph in rapid succession – do NOT let the brakes cool and do NOT come to a complete stop.
    2. 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph in rapid succession – do NOT let the brakes cool. You should expect to smell some resin as the brakes get hot.
    3. Drive around for as long as possible without excessively heating the brakes and without coming to a complete stop. Try for about 5 minutes at moderate speed. This is the cooling stage. It allows the heated resin in the brake pads to cool and cure.
    4. After the brakes cool to standard operating temperature, you can use them normally.

    Note that at this time everything you plan on reusing i would let soak in like pb blaster or something to help clean them and break off all the rust.

    If you need to replace wheel bearings at this time i would do it

    Retorqe the axel nut to 12ftlb

    Just got some custom rear sway bar linkage made by @Luv my yota , these things are sweet, had him make me extend linkage because after lifting my rear the stock one were to short and holding my rear axel up.

    Man that is truly a gorgeous truck. The wheels are perfect for it, the mods are tastefully added making it timelessly cool. And it being a 5-lug plus a stepside makes it one of a kind. Impressive:)
