How do you take the rotor of a dodge carvan front?

what is the best way to change the brakes and rotor on a dodge carvanHow do you take the rotor of a dodge carvan front?
Start by removing a wheel(1/4 or 19mm. lug nuts). Remove the 10mm. or may be 13mm. bolt from the caliper. Use a straight screwdriver to pry off caliper. Press the caliper piston back into the caliper with channel locks or a C clamp. Reason for only taking 1 caliper off at a time is so the other caliper piston does not come out of the caliper when pressing 1 piston back (pushing fluid to the other side). It's also normal for fluid to come out the master cylinder. You may have to spray lubricant of the rotor and beat the rotor off. Once off you could put antisieze on the spindle, disc brake quiet on the pads(can buy at auto store). Rotor may come off easier next service with anti seize on spindle. Lube all slides and reverse directions to put back together. Good luck!How do you take the rotor of a dodge carvan front?
take the calipers off, beat the heck out of the rotors, till they come off, then put the new ones on.. just remember to push the caliper piston back in, before you put the new pads on...How do you take the rotor of a dodge carvan front?
if you have front disc brakes and its like a dodge ram theni can help. first off get a allen wrench or a socket type that is 3/8 and remove the bolts holding on the calipers. next find a place for the calipers to rest while you work. dont let them hang there. next remove the cotter pin on the outside of rotor. next remove the rotor will prolly require some beating with a rubber mallet or dead blow. next take the wheel bearing grease seal out of the back side of the rotor and remove the bearings. next repack the bearings and place in new rotor. put on new wheel bearing grease seal. the reverse the order of operations used to remove. now take a c-clamp and push the piston back in the caliper. install new pad and place caliper over rotor. install bolts. and your done. oh the best thing to do is to go to a auto parts store and buy the haynes manual.
