Is there such thing as a 2-piece rotor/hub replacement?

Is there such thing as a 2-piece rotor/hub replacement?

Anyone seen this before? If so, please post a name-brand or link!

On the later 2004 2WD's the rotor and hub bearing come together as a one piece assembly. Is there a replacement that splits it into two pieces? Then you would only have to replace the rotors in the future (and not have to mess with the spindle nut!) I don't want/need to upgrade the calipers or anything, just rotors.

I could have sworn I saw this posted somewhere on here before. After an hour or two of searching I am beginning to think it was all a dream.

Hope so, those fricken rotors and hub bearings are expensive! I had to change my boxers after they told me how much.

The rotor and bearing is all one unit. It's a racket. There was a guy that said he found a replacement bearing, about a year ago. No one else has found it.

most bearing supply stores may carry the bearing but their expepensive to justify then you have to press out the old and press back in the new one. Look at the bright side, if you cook your bearings its 80 bucks a side to replace. 4wd are 300 bucks a side

See now Shifty you're confusing me. I thought the the 2x4 got the assembly replacement and the 4x4 only had to do the bearing replacement.

To my knowledge, the 2004 up 4x2 is a one piece unit. You have to replace the rotor with the bearing.

Shifty you have that just the opposite. And nobody carries the sealed bearing yet.

sorry to confuse you. yea the 2wd is a one piece unit with the rotor while the 4wd is a bearingéhub design with the rotor separte. i was talking about bearing replacement, its cheaper on the 2wd`s.
ive found a few sealed bearings up here but their 45-50 bucks then you got press out the old and press in the new. i dont think you`ll never find just the rotor without the bearing for a 2wd

It would be easy to make a hub to install the bearing in. The hard part would be finding the rotor.

The bearing is not sold seperatly, at least right now. Per the maker of the bearing, Timken. My rotor is still in great shape and I had already pressed it out of the rotor and went to pick up a new bearing. That is when I found out that all the parts stores that claim they can get it realized they can not, nor could a specialized bearing place cross reference it.
