Alright, folks. Talk to me like I'm a fool because I am. I got into my wheel wells for the first time, and the only 4x4 I ever owned before was a Suzuki Samurai. I did put some new brake pads and slide pins on my M1009 yesterday and it made all the difference, but it looks like the rotors are behind the hubs. My intuition is that I've gotta pull the front pumpkin cover, remove some clips, and yank the axles out to remove the rotors. Is that right? Is there any kind of shimming to be accounted for when I put it back together? I'd prefer not to break anything because it's my daily driver and at least once in my life, I've managed to break a differential by not accounting for shims. The bearings sound just the tiniest bit crunchy, which makes me want to repack them, but I'm really only versed in simple tapered rollers and my only experience with repacking 4x4 front hubs was an old Bronco so long ago all I remember is that it was more complex than I was comfortable with. Is there an exploded diagram I can refer to?
I apologize if I'm being tiresome. It's just difficult for me to make sense of the TMs. I'm not as good as I once was.
