Brake rotor replacement

Marty helms · Sep 13, 2017

2013 F450 with the 10 lug wheels.
Just got the truck and have not had the wheels off yet. I am sure that it has adaptors. I can see them thru the wheels.
I know that it needs rear pads and I was going to go ahead and replace all pads and rotors.
How hard are the rotors to replace?
Are these adaptors going to make things difficult?
Also, does this truck normally come with 8 lug on a dually 450?
Any advice, warnings, tips, etc., would be appreciated

Your truck's factory lug count is 10. Older F450s 99-04 have 8. Front and rear rotors should be pretty easy and straight forward.

Thanks for the response. I have watched a couple videos and not sure if the 13 is the same as the older ones in the videos, but it shows thst the axles have to be removed on the rear. Is that correct?
I thought it was 10 lug as well. I ordered brake rotors and they come in with 8 lug. Looking inside the wheel, I count 8 as well then thr adaptor is 10. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I will know for sure when I pull the wheels, but trying to be prepared with everything before I do.

Follow the utube video by Thomas Brian, F550 rotor replace dually. Should be the same as your 450.
