Brake rotor question

I need to change my brakes. they are getting wore down..

what I need to know is: when we take apart our brakes do the rotors come off seperate from where the studs are attached or are they all one unit??

my dana 44 on my Jeep comes off as one unit with studs attached so when you replace rotors it is easier to just replace entire unit instead of pressing rotor off?

hope that makes sense.

this is a '92 4x4 w250

reason I ask is I see to different types online from advance one with just rotor and one with rotor and studs??

The rotor and the hub are held together with the lug studs. I did mine a couple of months ago. I relaced the rotors, new bearings and pads. I did not change the hub. also I had a real hard time to get the right rotor Napa ordered the suposed right ones but it took about three trys and a few days finnaly got the right one

Ray, if you don't mind can you get me the part # and pm me? NAPA said it could be three different ones and I would need to pull the rotor to get a casting number to be sure. Can't have the truck down that long. Besides the store doesn't stock any of the applicable numbers!! Said one was in Alabama???
