    Removing front rotors
    I have a 2001 ford escoet and would like to know how to get the front rotors off, are they held on by the big nut that hold the axle in or by the lug bolts ? If it's the axle nut I sure can't turn it at all. Any advice is appreciated, thanks

    Remove brake caliper (12 mm), pads, caliper mounting bracket (15 mm, using a breaker bar), and disc. Support caliper with a piece of wire or bungee cord. I prefer an eight-inch "S" brake caliper hanger, made from 20 inches of 1/4-inch copper tubing.

    Install disc, caliper mounting bracket, pads, and caliper. Tighten caliper mounting bracket bolts (15 mm) 65 to 87 lb.-ft. and tighten caliper bolts (12 mm) 25 lb.-ft

    Thanks for your negative, jerky response! You really should not pick up a wrench. I assumed you had already jacked up the car and removed the wheel.
