Took a look at it last night......removed the brake assembly......Do I have to remove the # large bolts from the rear control arm?

Thanx

I tried to find a pic of it but no luck. I would just try to tap it out and see if it hits anything.

yeah that method worked on my stang

but this hub is...well it's a hub...theres a metal plate behind the rotor thats bolted on to it....behind the metal plate is the control arm........man I dont mind unbloting everything but putting it back together the right way is a concern......

I have had this off when I did my wheel bearings. I forgot about the plate. I'm going to have to jack it up to take a look, I have to go for a smoke anyway.......

Ok so I got the laptop now, and I'm looking at the thing. I think, without takin it off my myself again, you have to take the control arm bolts off, (upper and lower, plus the center nut in the hub, 36mm by the way) and pull the hub. Behind the plate there are 3 bolts, take them off and the plate comes off with it. It is more work than I remembered it being. Oh, and I'm having a beer AND a smoke for ya.

No probs man.

Well I'm going out on exercise for a month and the army says no drinkin when on ex. so I have to get it in now. If it makes you feel better I'm going to Afghanistan for the 3rd time, and no drinking for 8 months. Now that sucks!!!
