Hey all, I am replacing the pads and rotors on my '06 3500 Express van and am having trouble pulling the front rotors off. I am just wondering if they are attached at all like the older ones, or if they just are rusty and need some persuasion?

checkfor one or two screws on the rotors. if there is, they might be stubborn to get off. if no screw, they might just need a little persuasion.

Thanks, I didn't see any screw heads, but there are two threaded holes for bolts to force it off. I just wanted to make sure before I tried them, that it isn't bolted on somewhere. I thought the older van's rotors were attached to the bearings? I tried some persuasion already, but they didn't seem to even flinch, also leading me to believe they were attached somehow.

you are correct about the threaded holes. use a couple of bolts in them holes to push it off. pb blaster/wd 40. tighten bolts evenly.

Thanks, I will have to see if I have the right size bolts and give it a go. I will keep soaking them too.

Just an update, I did end up getting them off, I stumbled upon this video and this method worked very well for me. Just thought it might come in handy for someone else.
