Brakes Rotor Wheel bearing Hub assembly?

[Starbrick Jim]

I am working on front axle of CJ7 1983 Renegade . I see that the front rotors are part of the wheel bearings/hub assembly. I want to replace the badly rusted rotor but it all looks like one unit. For replacement parts, I am not finding the rotor/hub/bearing assembly available as a unit. Did Jeep make a change or an update to this system? I find no ability to separate the rotor from the existing hub, see attached pictures. I am asking for thoughts and directions as I am on pass front and will also repeat the process for driver front. Thanks.

My '84 is not a single assembly. The rotor is a separate part from the hub and the bearings. I have the Dana 30 in front. They were quite stuck (not as rusty as yours looks) and required some effort to separate them.

Thanks for the reply. My front is an AMC20 so hopefully it should not matter or make a difference. Should it? I like your solution better than trying to find the assembly that looks like mine.

Jim I'm in the process of doing the same to my 77 CJ5 . The assembly is two pieces you just have to pound out the studs and they will separate.

Thank you very much for the direction. Well, you were correct, I did punch out the studs and it came apart. I could have sworn it was one piece as the rust hid it well. Moving on in my new frame up rebuild.

Your Welcome. Mine were looking the same way. I bought the kit that TS posted and replaced everything. looks much better, and saved all the time of trying to clean the hub up. I think I posted a pic of it in my thread. Starting from the frame 77 CJ5
