Angry HELP! Ram brakes

I have a 1990 Dodge Ram, 4-wheel drive. I need to replace the rotors but have found that these specific rotors are discontinued. The rotor, hub, and wheel barings are all-in-one. Can anyone help or has anyone else had this problem?

The rotor is readily available at any auto parts store.

The rotor is held to the hub by the studs, it is not all one unit.

You pull the hub and rotor assembly off and then drive the lug studs out, through the back of the rotor and then beat or press apart the hub and rotor. On my truck (92) there were several different rotors and I had to get a part number off of the inside (!) surface of the rotor to make sure I got the right ones.
