what would it take to swap my 96 front brakes to the kind with the slip on rotors? would it even be worth while? Thanks

 

That's a 64,000 dollar question for us pre-99 guys.
Truthfully, I don't think it can be done unless someone really wants to play with various 2000 bearings/etc.

It sure wouldn't be a bolt on.

 

that figures... oh well worth a shot

 

Slop up your current rotors good with anti-seize and they'll slip off just as good as the newer ones.
Don't know why Dodge didn't use anti-seize in the first place.

 

Bill, huh?

Don't you still have to pull the Unit bearing? I took it he was looking to do the same as I was, not having to yank the unit bearing to change rotors.....

 

yeah right now they are stock and to my knowledge require the bearing to come out as well. when i replaced the rotors last time we had to pull the bearing out and press the studs out and back in when we put it together. i know the newer ones just slide off like a regular car. i was wondering what it would take to update them so a guy could run the newer style rotors.

 

Actually, as soon as I can lay my fingers on a 92-97 Ford D60, I am going to try and swap the whole outers, and at that time try and play with either come up with, or make hubs that put the rotor attachment in the correct place for the 2000 up slip on rotors. I still can't believe places like EMS dont take the opportunity to upgrade....... Perhaps others don't hate the pressed on rotors as much as I do.

So they can sell more parts and charge more to work on them because it takes so much longer. I go through 4-6 bottles a year.
