Front Rotors 2004 Ford Freestar?

I believe it may be your terminology that's causing some confusion. The calipers are what holds the piston as well as the pads and if I understand you correctly, you have removed them already. Next you'll have to have to remove what's called the carrier for the calipers, that's the thing that bolts to the axle, usually with two bolts, I think they're 18mm. Once they're removed the whole carrier comes off and there's plenty of room to remove the rotors. The two bolts are torqued really tight and you'll probably need an extension on a ratchet to break them loose. This site may help: http://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-replace-fr...

You're not making much sense. If the bracket surrounds the front rotor, how does the rotor get past the bracket? Or am I just picturing this wrong. Removing the assembly that actually holds the brake pads, the rotor should clear the rest to be removed.

You need to remove the entire caliper. Hang it from a piece of wire for support.

The caliper on this car often seizes. Use a block of wood and a heavy hammer to break it loose. You need to replace the pads, I think Ford specs ceramics.

If the full van shakes then its the decrease back rotors if basically the steerage wheel shakes then its the front rotors and the front calipers you basically could push them decrease back in you do no longer could do any turning

how do i get off the 3 things holding the rotor on?
