After searching quite a bit on the site, I couldn't find anything that described the removcal of the rear rotors. I muddled my way through it and removed the wheel, caliper, hub cover and halfshaft. I'm stuck at the two large nuts, separated by a locking spacer. I've heard of using a large pair of channel-locks to remove the nut on the front hubs, but can I do that on the rears? Can I bend the locking spacer so I can rotate the nut?, or do I spin them both at once? Any advice would be appreciated.

That's how the job is done. Go here for better info... http://www.spanishtrailrovers.com/Tech/Maintain/Wheel_Bearing_Replacement/wheel_ bearing_replacement.html Just don't remove the rear bearings!
