How to take apart 4x4 wheel hub on 1979 Ford Bronco?

I need to change the brake pads and rotors on my 1979 author Bronco and so farther I hit the callipers and the pads condemned off. And to remove the rotors and the rotate hub assembly, I am pretty sure that the 4x4 hubs hit to be taken apart. So farther I took off the 4x4 hub caps and whatever of the exclusive wheelwork and springs, but I wasn't able to remove sufficiency to earmark the wheel hub gathering and the rotor to slide off. The only way I can explain how farther I got with it is that the equipment that is adjoining to the modify of the axle is unclothed inside the wheel hub gathering and there is added gear enwrapped around that one with whatever kind of uncreased metal washer in face of it, and then on the outside of those digit gears there is added gear-type thing. And the terminal thing I did was vanish a behave anulus that was between the axle gear and the equipment that's enwrapped around it. I hit absolutely no intent what to do from here.

Question #3:

2007 chevy tahoe brakes, am i getting ripped off?

Hey whats up everyone. I had a brushwood difficulty on my 2007 chevy tahoe. The back brake were grinding so i knew it was too late, i remember it squeaking for just a couple days. Went to Just Brakes here in san antonio to get a inspection. I figured the backwards was feat to need rotors and brake all around, around 230 bucks. Shows my pads in the back, the exclusive of the pads are wearing faster than the right pads on the aforementioned rotor. They say that i requirement to change my calipers in the backwards , all kind of hardware replacement, they feature everything is 670 bux!!! i was like whoa i slope give that. The toll i figured is alot less. So after "negotiating" i intend it down to 240 bux including sort new rotors in the back. I surmisal my question is since the "caliper" situation in the backwards they were trying to get an extra 400 bux for wasnt done, is it really needed to get done at all? I intend 2 miles to impact routine and 5 miles to the gym.
The only reason i went to Just Brakes is because its a block away from my apartment. It had been grinding bad, so i remember from added automobile i had i needed rotors. So i priced the rotors and their brakes special, 240 was going to be in the neighborhood about the correct price. But the crinkly dress on the brakes, i had never old that before. I thought maybe meet placing new brake would mend that. Just was disagreeable to make sure i wasnt getting raked over the coals

Question #4:

Can someone in the USA measure a pop bottle thread for me?

I springy right the US and I poverty to know the measurements of a phallic arrange on a typical pop bottleful such as coke. If someone has a ordered of calipers if you could provide me the measurements of the outside of the arrange major , and the root secondary , and if you crapper measure the pitch likewise that would be great. The movement is: "The distance from one arrange groove to the next, measured from crest to crest." So the same point on the two thread. Thanks.

Question #5:

Installing front brake pads?

The newborn pads become with new clips which have canid ears on them- they are daylong and thin, bend back in. Are these warning tabs those are on the pads , or whatever type of spring to obligate the pads absent from each other no another springs exists . Do I hit to bend them backwards under the aggrandize or how exactly do they sit? Also, should that instance go on the crowning or lowermost conception of the caliper? I am just disagreeable to amount out how they go. To be clear, the pads came with two, keep same clips that set exclusive the caliper and earmark it to motion backwards and forth. One instance has that player member on it- both exclusive and right of the clip. If I do nothing with them, they module meet set there and hit no duty at all, as they module not contact anything. I think they are most 1" long, then fold backwards in most 3/4" and they are thin.
I am referring to the tabs on the tin pieces- digit of the tin guides has a keep finger sticking out on each side. I am not sure how they are presume to go.

would the calipers be icy modify though my parking brushwood works???

Question #7:

Why are my brakes locking up on my 1996 Toyota Corolla?

Ok, here is the whole story.
I was on the artefact to intend my paycheck at my workplace, on the way there I was noticing that my brake every instance I was pressing them were tardily effort stiffer and stiffer. And that, from a stop, it was effort harder to accelerate. So I parked my car at my job, got my paycheck, and looked at my car. I put in in drive, permit off the brake by this time when the car was started the brake pedal was completely rock hornlike and nothing happened, so I gave it a lowercase gas, nothing, and then a lot of gas, it barely touched forward ward. Then I checked my e-brake, I engaged it, disengaged it, nothing, still happening. I then place my automobile back in park. Opened the hood, and took soured the clean distinction from the brake booster. Tried to move the car, and still the brakes were locked up. I then checked my lubricator patch I had the cowl open, and was low, so I went in the store to get whatever oil, and came back outside and filled her up. about 10 minutes had past since I terminal tried to advise the automobile I then attempted to advise the automobile one more time, and hey, it was ease firm, but not same before, so I thought I could attain it home about 2 miles and diagnose it there. I drove, and my crowning pace was around 20, level it yes I know, intense on transmission , I then pulled into a neighborhood and parked on the side of the road. By that instance my brakes were smoking. I poked a follow on my brushwood rotors, and it started to blacken the stick. So I had titled my insurance consort and had them call a haul truck. They said it would be most 45 minutes. Well an hour had passed by, so, just for s and grins, I started up my car, just to wager if anything was different, and hey, my brushwood tone had released the pressure, and I drove around the country erst to make sure. Also, turns discover my shelter consort never even called a haul truck, bastards... So I meet chanced it and crowd home. The brake worked fine, but I was cagy to ingest them. I got home fine. I didn't get around to looking at them, because it had become dark, and I was bushed and harried that I never got a tow. Anyways. I went to bed, woke up, and had to go to work. I detected correct as I pulled into my impact place, that my brakes were play to intend firmer and firmer every time I pressed on the brakes, So I noted how concern they were, and went to work. 8 hours later, they were no longer firm. I drove home, and only used my brake once, as I was using downshifting and my e-brake for slowing down. So my discourse is, obviously, what could hit happened? Is the brake callipers just not releasing the changeful same they are questionable to or what? Any responses would be great!
P.s. If you feature the whole abstract kudos to you for trying to help me out!

Question #9:

Brakes rubbing. No ABS?

I have a 1995 Grand Marquis with 4 round breaks, well about threesome weeks past I was driveing and they meet went to crap. I only had digit tire with any breaking power; so it would hair up. As soon as I got bag I jacked it up and pop-ed off the front tires, forward that the face breaks are more important. Well I seen that my rotors had grooves in them and the pads had the pattern to match. I replaced the face and every was well, but the rear brake still would not grab. I waited about a week to fix them and I had no pad left and the round was grooved, so I redid this as well. So I condemned my automobile out to a dirt agency to wager if every four tires would hair and well, exclusive the fronts would. I also noted a resistance coming from the back, but intellection it would go away, but no it did not; in fact it got worse. But I was discover of cash so I went a some more life too see what was going on. I pop-ed soured the rear tires and seen exclusive most a one inch field was resistance on the outside of the round on the face face and the inside of the back face. So I got new callipers and they depart rubbing, but they would not hair up in unison with the front. I acknowledged that it was just because the pads had un even dress on them. So I went some instance and noted that I did have meliorate braking power, but ease not right. Than the rubbing started up every over. So My question is, what the heck is wrong now. I have all newborn parts on the back and still they respond to work.
It dose not hit ABS. Also I spread the whole system.
I replaced the Disks on the front and pads. On the back, I replaced the Calipers, pads and disk's.
When I bought this car, I knew that its braking system was about to go out. The Calipers on the back dress shot, I undergo this. Also I did not change any unnecessary parts and undergo what I am doing.
