front wheel bearings in my sierra are f-ed bought some kits to fix her, how do i get the nut that holds the disc off i have tryed everything ??

[PJ.zook]

Unless you got some weird ass setup, all you need to do to get the disc off is to remove wheel, unbolt and remove brake caliper, and the disc will slide right off.
If you are talking about the hub nuts, they have a lockring which is just some tabs bent over onto the flats on the nuts, just bend em back straight and the nuts should come off with little effort.

There is no nut holding the disc on, except the 5 wheel nuts and the brake caliper. There is are 2x 50mm nuts underneath the FWH (with a lockwasher in between) that require a 50mm socket to undo.

The lockwasher has one, or two, sides folded up against a flat on the outer 50mm nut. Once you have folded it back, the first nut should come off, then remover the washer, then undo the 2nd nut.

PS You might have a Vit or Jimny type set-up, which don't have 50mm nuts, but round nuts with locating pins. There is a special socket for these type of nuts.

drew a shit pic to help.... cant undo that big nut infront of the locking washer

[303zuke]

You need to borrow/buy a 50mm socket. It's real Bubba-tech, but you can rotate the nut with a hammer and cold chisel, but it's crude and you're gonna need the socket anyway to accurately tighten the nut to set the pre-load on the bearing.

hahah yeah got the tools and all that jazz. managed to get that nut off it was stuck bloody good .....can get my disc off even with the aid of a puller grrrr....

Is there threaded holes on your disks that you can screw a bolt into to separate them from the hub?

[zuk_244]

Depends on the disk, if it aftermarket and what brand it is. In short, some do some dont.

[ainzy]

just did this like two weeks ago... to get the disk assembly off clean ( and i mean proppeerly ) the jacking bolt holes in the disk track down some bolts ( pretty sure they 6mm from memory ) using a bench grinder put a rounded face on the bolts and using bulk neverseize ( no shed should ever be without neverseize ) do them up and put some tension on them now using a deadblow hamer or a copper dolly and a 4 pound hammer hit ( flog shite out of ) the back of the disk it should come pretty quick if not drown it in possum pisss ( penetrine , WD40 or the like ) for 20 mins then procede to hit it of again should come off now... if not and this is a totall cunnt of a thing and the next step is applying heat using a oxy set .... hope i helped if not put it down to 1/2 pissedd ramblings... cheers
