    Are you sure you want to?

    You have to get the axle nut off and some hub retainer bolts off.

    from http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/repair/Brakes/brake_job.htm#rotor_removal

    If the front rotors need to be turned, this is a bit harder as the front hub nut needs to be removed. On my truck that nut is 1 3/4" (available at Sears in a 3/4" drive socket). I used my air impact wrench and some anti-seize to get it off. I'm not sure I've got enough strength to do it without the impact. I'd have needed a pretty large breaker bar, since my impact puts out about 300 ft-lbs of torque. Aside from the hub nut, there are either 3 or 4 inner hub retaining bolts (9/16", 12 point) that need to be removed to get the front rotors off.


    If you can find a shop that has an on-car brake rotor lathe, you might want to put off changing the rotor until you absolutely have to.

    Good luck
