Getting ready to do the brakes on my 03 F350 4x4... Before I start tearing into it I was wondering is the rotor and hub 1 piece . Just curious I know my broncos were one piece.
Thanks

bobby,
Yes they are one piece. By the way if you are replacing rotors consider the Powerslot rotors, prices are close to the stock rotor and the life expectancy is waaaay better. Especially if you get the cyro'ed ones! The number of folks that have brake pulsation on SD's is amazing and the Powerslot rotors and Hawk pads eliminate it if you do the bedding in procedure correctly! Call us if you're have any questions about them.

mark-
does that mean you are saying that they are one piece, as in pressed on? i had mine done in Jan. at ~36k. both front/rear all. mech. said they were not pressed on. am i mixed up on the issue? please clarify.
FYI: i had looked into the frozen rotors, and heard more negative complaints than positive. do you have any more info. on that subject. i heard they are what you need for a towing machine. obviously i used mine up w/in 36K plowing/towing. fronts were grooved, heat marked, and especially the r front was bad defragmenting (is that the word i am looking for, breaking down from within, pitting)

Do I need any special tools (IE hub tools) to take it apart

t-bars picture
this shows the rotor as being a single piece from the hub,
now I am confused
matter of fact his picture album is quite good at detailing the hub removal.

whoa i dont know that id agree...
powerslots are 125 per rotor (and thats from summitracing.com)
replacement rotors (not slotted) from autozone are 47 per rotor
and the autozone's come w/ a 2yr warrenty !
i can buy 3x the rotors and swap 'em out for the cost of the power
slots...

red 6 0-no,
2WD are a complete hub assembly, 4x4 are seperate like the picture showed!! Don't know where you heard that cyro'ed rotors aren't superior to standard ones. I have two different trucks of my own that are far far better with Cyro'ed than stock etc. You won't be sorry if you get them, I haven't been.

bushpilot,
While you are correct about those rotors, you will also damage pads and your time is worth something other than redoing brakes all the time. I was comparing pricing to name brand rotors form someone like Napa or Ford. If you really want cheap get on ebay for rotors there are some really low priced ones on there.
