    disc brakes are not that easy to get off unless you have the right tools ,,

    Nothing on a Maverick is impossible to find, if you don't need it, don't waste your time or money buying parts you'll never need, or use. People say they will buy them, but they rarely want to pay you anything for them, or your time to take them off.

    I've pulled several sets of discs in the junkyard. Never encountered a set I couldn't get off in less then an hour. Broken cotter pin = either punch what's left out with a small punch, or file it down just below the threads and remove the nut. My 10 pound sledge and a pickle fork pops everything else loose in 3-5 hits.

    What did I post that anyone else can't easily do? I'm just saying, if you have the right tools handy, it's no big deal.

    I don't want you in my presents. :rofl2:

    If you are pulling it at a junk yard your not worried about saving the ball joints and Tie rod ends anyhow just twist them of with a socket or a wrench dont worry about removing them leave them in and remove twist the nut of works best. saves lots of time last set of early ford spindles I removed I unbolted the brake hose and twisted of the nuts smacked it with a hammer and was back in my truck with complete spindle assembly rotor caliper and all in 20 min of course I used an 18v snap on cordless impact.
