The rotor/hub assembly can be turned; it's done by a lathe that's placed directly on the rotor while it is still mounted on the vehicle. It is called an On Car Brake Lathe.
If you do replace the entire rotor/hub, I suggest buying OEM parts from Ford. There is a major difference in quality over third party vendor parts sold at your local auto parts store; which warp or wear faster...the OEM part has better lasting sealed wheel bearings too
If you have replaced all that stuff with new items ( not second hand) then any spark in must come out to a plug unless you have not fitted the distributor properly and the rotor button is no turning
take the cap off and if you can turn the rotor then the drive is not engaged on the cam shaft
watch the rotor button with the cap off to see if it is turning
If you mean the rotor inside the distributor, either the rotor screw fell out, or the distributor gear is broke, or the timing belt broke and the cams are not turning.
Lift it up, remove the tire, remove the caliper and caliper mount bracket (2 separate pieces) then knock the rotor off, you can smack it with a hammer but if you're reusing the rotors and are just turning them dont hit them where the pads grab
TO CHANGE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. FIRST YOU NEED TO SAFELY RAISE SUPPORT VECHICLE ON JACK STANDS.MAKE SURE VECHICLE PARKED ON LEVEL SOLID GROUND.YOU NEED TO REMOVE BRAKE CALIPER BOLTS AND THE CALIPER FROM THE KNUCKLE.DONT LET CALIPER HANG BY BRAKE HOSE USE A PIECE OF WIRE TO SUPPORT CALIPER.REMOVE THE DISC BRAKE ROTOR RETAINING SCREWS IF EQUIPPED.IF THE ROTOR WILL NOT EASILY PULL OFF,SCREW TWO 8MM BOLTS INTO THE DISC BRAKE REMOVAL HOLES AND TURN THE BOLTS TWO TURNS AT A TIME TO PRESS THE ROTOR FROM THE HUB.
make sure firing order is correct if so then get motor at top dead center..If you dont know how to do this obtain a book and follow detailed procedure.....(it is fairly simple) once at top dead center pull dist. cap and see if rotor points directly to spark plug wire # 1 on cap...If not loosen distributor and turn until rotor is pointing to #1 wire
Remove the wheels, then on the back side of the rotor will be two bolts holding the caliper on. Remove them, then there will be two more bolts holding the caliper mounting bracket on, remove those, and the bracket. The rotors will slide off. If you have never had the brakes done there will be two metal washers holding the rotor on to the studs, cut them off with a chisel. They are only there to hold the rotors on during assembly line operations. Good Luck
Your rotors are warped. You also probably need to brake pads. Take your rotors off and inspect them for cuts and grooves. If the surface is not flat you'll need new ones. If not take them to a machine shop and have them turned. Turning your rotors will cut them down until the surface is perfectly flat and not warped. The shaking is cause when the rotors are warped and you press the brakes and the rotor applies more pressure where it's high and less where it's low, thus causes it to shake
