I was doing a "simple" brake change on my 96, and i got everything off, but i have a feeling something isn't right. If you could look at these pictures and maybe give me some pointers?
I think there is a seal or bushing that has disintegrated....
I'm pretty good with mechanics of any kind, i'm just not familiar with the Bronco.

I've removed all the guts of the hub, and the outer bearing, and the rotor wobbles and moves about an 1/8th of an inch either in or out, but it won't come off. I can't figure out for the life of me what it's hung up on.

Re: Brake Rotor Change...
Inner race of the bearing has probably spun and has grooved the spindle snout. Keep pulling and the seal will pop out of the hub and stay on the spindle with the bearing. If it has spun, you will have to replace the spindle.
