i did a 2x3 tranny drain and fill in my bro's 2004 frontier.
was gonna tackle the brakes until i took off the front wheel and noticed its not that simple.
requires a 32mm socket to take off the spindle nut from the hub.

now im debating on doing an oil change on my car. the fucking computer keeps yelling at me. no tpms and A1 service coming soon. FUCK UP!!!!

You only need that hub socket when doing the axles no?...

Also AutoZone has it as a loan a tool...

but the rotor usually just slides off when calipers are removed just might need an impact screwdriver for the two Philip screws on it...

^^^ I agree....for the rotors, you dont need to remove the spindle nut (unless, something is weirdly different on the frontier)....

You will need the impact screwdriver as mentioned...

also if the rotors is still not coming off, its the rust, hit the rotor with a mallet....careful since some have ABS sensors sitting right behind them....if they do, disconnect the battery and REMOVE (read REMOVE and not DISCONNECT) the sensor...
