If you have a turd gen, wheel off, caliper off, disc off.

2nd gens are a bit more involved...

i tried that but the disc seems stuck on i tried hitting it with a wooden mallet with no luck.... i now they should just slide off but it isnt so is there a pulling tool i could buy

I've never changed a turd gen disc, but it should just fall off. Check to see if there are any screws holding it on, or, if there are threaded holes in the disc. If there are threaded holes, you could screw a couple of bolts in and push it off (bolts will probably be 8mm).

If you hang around, a grown up will be along to help more.

The above assumes you have a turd gen, which you haven't confirmed.

I wouldn't bet on it!

Yeah, need to know what truck you have, no point typing a out an essay on doing 2nd Gen discs, if you have a 3rd Gen where they are held on by the wheels.

He has previously said he has a second gen.

LOL, thats unlucky for him!

Its probably just rusted on then, I have a big block of wood to rest the hub on, then beat the disc off over it.

See what you did when you changed your wheel stud? Just do that again, without removing the stud.
