Hi All. I was wondering if anyone has tips for a front brake rotor and pads change on my van.

it looks pretty basic, but I noticed that some rotors come with a hub assembly. These include new lugs. Without the hub it looks like I’d have to remove the lugs from the old rotor and put them in the new one. Does this sound correct?

Should I just order the rotors and hub assembly to make my life easier?

I think my van has anti-lock brakes. Will this impact the components I need or are they all the same?

Any other tips for getting the job done would be much appreciated. I’ve changed rotors and pads on my cars many times, but the van intimidates me haha

 

Van won't be any different than your cars.

Question becomes, is there a hub/bearing unit in front? Or is the hub an integral part of the rotor? I see both designs that say they fit your van..... which makes no sense at all to me.

Also, I suspect parts will be different between RWAL, and 4WAL.

 

I believe the bearing spindle assembly presses into the rotor. I have pressed them out and into a new rotor. When I've done that, it worked okay but sometimes will get loose. If you get one with the center spindle assembly, be sure to use new wheel bearings in it. I will usually drive out the bearing races even though they are new so I know the races belong to the bearing and will seat properly.
