Where to get hub/rotors assy.

[TB383]

I am building up a dana 44 from a k5 blazer and went to auto zone and oreillys and they both said that they do no carry a rotor/hub assemble anymore. I was told that i have to buy the hub and the rotor seperate because they no longer get in as a assembly. I was just wondering where yall would get this?? i need it for a dana 44 with 6 lug.,, thanks

Napa had everthing I needed for the d44

Umm, do you not have hubs? Or are you changing from 6 to 8?

I'd get hubs @ a junkyard and get rotors from the parts place ... they just press on with the lugs.

Or am I missing the question entirely?

no you got it man, I am just replacing the hubs that are on it now and the rotors. I went to autozone and was looking for a assembly with the hub and rotor together, but i guess you can just buy it seperate and it will be fine, ill try napa

thanks

If there is nothing wrong with your hubs why do you want to replace them? I could see if you wanted to buy a hub/rotor assembly so you could have an extra pair of hubs. Then again, the hub/rotor assembly usually isn't much more money than buying a rotor by itself.

Gaieee, yeah, why replace what ain't broke? AZBlazer was doing it to go to 8-lug.

I'd press out the studs and replace the rotor only. Cheaper and easier, IMHO.

Where in Tx are you? I have a couple of those left over from a conversion.

Lewisville area......are the ones you have 6 lug?

carquest has them i'm fairly sure.

 

[TB383]

welll i guess i dont need to replace the hub then, i will just put new bearings in the one i got and then just buy new rotors....... thanks for the help guys

i am replacing my rotors on mine also ,
do i have to also replace the studs ?
is it better to find a place to press the studs out , or can i knock them out with a hammer ?

if you knock them with a hammer becareful to not hit the threads, i use an air hammer with a pointed tip right dead center of the stud
