I just purchased new cross drilled/slotted rotors and went to put them on. back went fine but the fronts-how big of a job is it taking the bearings out and putting them back in. Is this a dealer job or can I do it myself. It looks like a night mare but am up for the task if anyone else has done it.

I would recommend new bearings, and seals, 6 nw screws for the spindle nut, and 2 new spindle nuts. You may as I did have to drill the heads off the retaining screws to get the locking plate off.

One side came off with some impact, the other didn't. in any case the screws were ruined for both sides.

If you already have experience doing brakes, its just a little more work on this truck, but if you've never done brakes, and are wondering if you can...Better take it to a professional who can do a safe installation.
