I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME THE BEST WAY TO GET MY DRIVEAXLE PUSHED BACK IN FLUSH ON MY 2000 WINDSTAR.I REPLACED THE ROTORS AND PADS.WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET THE ROTORS OFF A FORD DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ROTOR AND HUB ALL COME OFF AS ONE.HE TOLD ME TO TAKE THE SPINDLE NUT OFF AND THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY WOULD COME OFF TOGETHER AND IF IT WAS RUSTED ON THERE, TO HIT IT WITH A HAMMER A FEW TIMES. THEN I FIGURED OUT THAT THERE IS ACTUALLY 3 TORQUE NUTS ON THE ROTOR THAT YOU TAKE OUT AND THE ROTOR COMES RIGHT OFF THE HUB.THE HUB IS STILL ON THE AXLE BUT NEEDS TO BE PUSHED BACK FLUSH TO GET THE PLAY OUT.ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
