Your local auto parts store or auto shop can press them out for you, but you will still save a lot of money taking it apart and putting it back together yourself.

Remove the caliper bracket bolts and caliper bracket, and slide the rotor off the hub. Step 3 Remove the axle nut using the correct size 1/2-inch drive socket and a large breaker bar or pipe for leverage. Once removed, push the axle back
