HELP! Brake rotor insanity!


For the life of me I cannot figure out why no catalogs have the correct rotors for my 92 2WD pickup (front rotors). Driving me up the wall! I have the rotors/bearings all-in-one deal (old school) that have the 5 wheel studs and then the 5 hex bolts that go through the rotor and into the hub. Here is a picture I was able to find from a thread on this forum; the rotor I am looking for is the one on the left. If anyone can please help me with a part number and an explanation why no one stocks these or even has them in their catalog (NAPA, Carquest, O'Reilly, online vendors, Amazon, etc). It is the ultimate twilight zone car part (and I can normally find anything and everything on a car... but this one broke my brain in half and busted my nutz in 4). Please help

That pic looks like the normal 2wd rotor with the hub bolted to it still? I dont see anything special about it and every auto parts store should have it.

I am sorry but your rotor unbolts from your hub.

If you want both pieces plus the bearings and seal then the new studs it is going to get expensive.

I bought some new rotors for my 1987 2wd and I have the same setup as you. The rotor just "unbolts" from the hub/bearing assembly shown in the picture. I have not come across the whole assembly as a replacement unit, just the individual parts.

Just to make you aware of the hubs. I have run into size issues on both the 4 wheel and 2 wheel. On the 4 wheel the disc width comes in 257mm or 302mm size. The two wheels have different dimensions on the disc size also, I just dont know the sizes they came in and what year they changed. Normally you have to buy all the pieces and assemble it.

He never said anything about using the rotor or caliper on the right. He specifically said his looked like the one on the left and he got the pic from another thread on here.

Okay now I feel like a complete a$$ clown! Holy Schnykees! Pardon me while I pull my head out of my arse and go take a shower.

Will proceed with operation "blonde rotor" next week. Will change my blinker fluid while I am in there.
