Hi,

I plan on replacing the front brake rotors on my 2000 Frontier XE, 2WD, 4-cyl. From the looks of it, it appears that the wheel hubs are bolted to the rotors from the inside? Just looking for general info from someone who may have done this job before.

Thank you.

I have a 99 XE and replaced the rotors. Yea you have to disassemble the, if stock, automatic locking hubs then I used a half inch air gun to remove the bolts that are on the backside then beat off the rotors from the hub assembly.

Not too bad just tedious.

Don't forget to torque the Rotor to the hub assembly then torque the lugnuts or you can warp the rotors causing a pulsation/vibration.

I torque my lugs to 100 Foot LBS. Range is form 80 to 120 Flbs with Factory alloy rims.

Hope it helps.
