I'm buying all the parts to do a front brake job (new rotors and pads) and wheel bearing repacking.

The rotor I got has six holes but from all the threads I read and FSM. 90-95 rotors have 2 extra holes to bolt into the hub from the back.

I'd like to know so I have all the right parts before I start.

From what I remember there are 6 bolts in the rear of the hub attaching the rotor. I can't remember if they go through the rotor or not. Should be easy to tell if you take a wheel off.

 

Just looked at my old one's. 6 holes.

 

Yep, six holes. I'm in the middle of this now and have everything apart. Let me know if you need some pics.

 

Thanks that makes me feel better. I was worried because the write up on 4x4 wire the picture has 2 bolts that fastened the rotor to the hub. The FSM for the 93 toyota also stated to torque bolts ..
What year's/models have rotors with two bolts?
So I should be good to go then.. Any pics would be helpful and lastly should I reuse the studs when you replace the rotors?

 

Solid axle ones I think

I reused mine.
One hint, the bolts holding the rotor to the hub are very tight and probably rusty. When I did mine I found the easiest way to get them out was to put the rotor/hub upside down inside one of my wheels lying flat on the ground. Then stand on the edge of the rotor and the tire, and use a 24" breaker bar to loosen the bolts.

 

eric-the-red when you say bolts holding the rotor to the hub do you mean the six studs? Or did your setup have the extra 2 holes that bolt the rotor to the hub to make it 8?

 

I meant the 6 that go in the back of the hub holding the rotor on. Mine didn't have the 2 other holes, and it was also a 93

 

IFS rotors are 6 hole and the wheel studs go through them just like on the SFA rotors, yet the SFA ones have two additional holes for two bolts.

 

Thanks for the update.

I've got some old locknut's (lost the key) that I've removed with info from another thread on the site.

It worked like a charm.

If I screw those on and hammer out the studs, shouldn't be a problem right?
Again thanks for the info.

 

Just thought I'd update and post some pictures (passenger and driver) of my Rotor, pads, oil seal (+ re-greased bearings), brake line and finally the manual hubs change .

Before:

After:


And I thought I'd post a picture to show
1) the way rotor's are attached to the hub. I thought the hub studs held the rotor in place.
2) using the rim as a holder was a awesome, I forget who/were post mentioned that but thanks.
