I can't get the Axel Nut off the the wheel to remove the rotor from my 2001 Ford Expedition. What tool do I use to get this thing off!!! Also, I can't find a jack strong enough to hold up my expedition. Any suggestions here?

Is it 4 wheel drive or 2 wheel drive? If it is 4 wheel drive, you do not remove the axle nut. These rotors will rust on the hub and ard difficult to get off.

If you are gonna replace rotors, just beat on them with a hammer till they break free. You can lubricate the center of the rotor where it sits on the hub and help some. Also look for a couple of screws that might be holding it on. If it has these, they will be at the same pattern as the lug stusd.
