You have a Dana 44 front diff instead of the stock Dana 30 ? That would be some good info to add your bio... I'm not sure of the socket size for a Dana 44 ...

Need the four prong one, not the hex.

You could also use a hammer and small punch... but it is definately the hard way and often damages the nut making it hard to get a socket on later.

I used a hammer and a small punch. There must have been a burr on the threads or something. The second nut come right off. I got the rotor off now just have to get the spindle off.

Thanks guys for the advice.

And to resize pics, download irfanview (irfanview.com--it's free). Open your pic in Irfanview, then click Image>Resize. I typically resize from 400 to 600 pixels on the long side of an image. Save As a .jpg file, and reduce the image quality to 85-90%. You won't notice a difference in quality on the monitor, and it reduces the file size even more.
