you dont need to undo the big nut, just unscrew the two flat head screws on the rotor cap. the rotor will drop right off. hit them with pb blaster first to make it easy on yourself. if it wont drop right off, thread the screws into the non-countersunk holes and this will press the rotor off the hub.

Only reason to undo that monster is for replacing the wheel bearing.

Thanks all....I should have mentioned that I'm changing all the bearings as well.

I really hope you have read the posts on how to make a tool to pull the hub back into the bearing or you'll be buying another bearing.

"Caster bolt"? Try "castellated nut". The Cap'n

I used a 1 3/16". I know, I know bad juju, but it fit really well.
