    They are not. Unless they are aftermarket...but I don't think there are any two piece for our trucks.

    they are attached to the hub from the back side, so you have to remove the hub from the spindle then remove the rotor.

    There are 5 bolts that hold the Hub to your Rotor. Remove the 5 bolts and then lightly tap the Rotor and they will separate. Bolt everything back together and you're done. Don't forget to regrease your bearings.

    Great info! Heck when I go that far, I just replace them, but packing them is a bare minimum the thing to do . . .:waytogo:

    Are the 2wd rotors two piece? I thought only the 4wd ones were.

    No, 2wd and 4wd rotors are both one piece. They both bolt to the hub, but in slightly different ways.

    YES! When you buy the rotor for our trucks you get just that, a rotor. The part where the bearings go to is separate but the rotor bolts to that and you have to take that piece off in order to remove the rotor.
