Kieth, I have the 2004-2005 Service information DVD from ford. I got it off e-bay for 10 bucks. Only problem is that I have to set my computer back to 2004, no biggie, works great. Take care

Y'all need to do some preventative maintenance.
Before reinstalling rotors apply a very thin coating of hi-temp anti-seize to the hubs ( around but not on, the studs). I repeat - a VERY thin coat - you don't want this stuff migrating onto your rotor surfaces lol.
No more stuck hubs - ever.
Ideally, you should do this asap when the truck is new, no later than, say, your first tire rotation.
One less problem down the road - you could say it's along the same vein as popping out your plugs when still new to apply hi-temp nickel AS.
'Course this only applies to folks who can actually spell PM

Because my old 2000 had stuck rotors.
I learned from my mistakes - what's wrong with passing that along?
BTW - I did the plug thing, too.
Believe what you wish .... do not care.

Well - the only thing I care about is, my AssClown detector is on the fritz again.
It should have picked up on this latest AC who, instead of just taking (or leaving) hard-won good advice in the positive manner for which it was intended, decided on a banal retort.
Damn windoze software.
