HELP! How to remove an ABS ring from Rotors? - Diesel Forum

Real Prober · 11-13-2009, 12:55 PM

I am trying to replace my worn front brake rotors.

The Van:
94 Ford E350
DRW
4 wheel ABS
8 Lugs

I have been looking for a rotor with hub built in..but seems like no luck.

Now I need to remove the hub from Rotors...to replace just the rotor part.

Anybody know how to take out the ABS ring? (plz refer to the pics)

Do I need some special tool?

thanks in advance

Leave it on there. It's no big deal. If your replacing the rotor it will have a new ABS ring on it.

OOPS...now I took a look. The ring is pressed on. Maybe just heat it up and it will wiggle free. Use a couple of pry bars and work your way around it.

Thanks for the reply. Yea.. I was hoping I could find a rotor with a hub/ring, but no such a thing available (even Motorcraft)

I guess 4ABS DRW is super rare...
