How to remove front rotors on a 1999 Sonoma 2 wheel drive
these are whats called fixed rotors. once the wheel and brake caliper have been removed, the dust cap needs to be removed, the cotter pin, the the washer, and with a pair of channel lock pliers, you can remove the nut which holds the bearings in place. you have one more washer and the front bearing which will come out as soon as you start pulling the rotor towards you. make sure you keep the bearings clean and it is a good idea to repack them. to reinstall reverse procedure(obviously) but when you go to put the nut back on you can tighten it down snug with the pliers, rotate the wheel a couple of times and unsnug the nut and retighten the nut til there is resistance and then 1/4 turn. be safe.
Yes as, ase_master327 said, it is a Wheel Bearing Hub assembly. But I believe his directions are for a 4x4. On the 2wd it is easier in my opinion. Pretty much what he wrote except the axle nut and cotter pin deal. It should be 3 or 4 bolts holding on the hub. Loosen front lugs, jack up the car, remember jack stands!! Remove rims, calipers, rotors, abs sensor, and then the Hub. Shouldn't be too hard. Install the new hubs as you removed them. Hope this helps and good luck. Sorry I took so long to reply haven't been on this site in a while.
