What seats the front rotors on a 2008 ford escape?

When removing and replacing the front rotors on a 2008 Ford Escape 4wd, what holds the rotor in place? Should the rotor be pounded onto the hub for a press fit, or are there just retaining clips that go over the wheel studs?What seats the front rotors on a 2008 ford escape?I've owned about 7 fords in the last 10 years, I love them, but those damn rotors are sometimes a pain in the rear! some are screwed in place, and some are just put in place. the way to tell is when you remove the wheel, look for a screw head that is flush with the rotor that has a star pattern, it is not a regular screwdriver pattern, it is the star one, if you see those then you must remove them before the rotor will come off.



In any case, the rotor will probably be stuck on the hub very very hard, you will need to probably pound it off by hitting it with a rubber mallet, or your boot! if you plan on turning the rotors to save some cash them hit them with something soft like a rubber mallet, or, if you don't have that, put a piece of soft wood flush against the rotor and hit the wood with the hammer to try and dislodge the rotor. if you are planning on replacing the rotors then simply smash the crap out of the rotor once you get the screws off if you see any. Hit the rotor at the very top and very bottom alternating back and forth, it will come off, don't be afraid to pound it as hard as you can.
