mad 2wd rotors and hub assembly

Ok, so heres the deal. I've been to every auto parts place I know of and nobody can get me a rotor and hub assembly for a 2wd with a 4000 lb front axle. The only ones anyone can get are for the 3300 lb front axle. They sell just the rotors themselves but i dont want to have to pound the studs out and pull the hub assembly off the old rotors because they are a rusted corroded mess. So that being said, does anyone know where i can get the whole rotor/hub assembly for a 1990 d250, 2wd, with a 4000 lb front axle. Any help is appreciated fellas.

What do you mean how do I have a 4000 lb front axle????? The 3300 lb front axle was on the gas 3/4 ton trucks. The 4000 lb was on the cummins 3/4 ton trucks. And the reason I know this is because it says it on my door sill, I had to buy shocks for a 4000 lb front axle, and the rotors/hub assembly's i bought for the 3300 lb front axle were too small. Anymore questions?????

When I was buying rotors just recently I believe Carquest had the entire shebang. You should try calling carquest. Someone will stock them whether it is separate or together. And yes 4000 lbs axle.

I've taken many apart now that came off trucks that were a rusted mess and never had any problems getting them apart. I just did a set last night. 2 hits per stud on the hard studs and 3 wacks to the hub and they were apart. It took less then 10 minutes and the rotors had just about rusted off it. I used my little hammer (20 pound sledge with 1 foot steel handle)

Not a problem. I can't see replacing them unless it's been wrecked or a race got messed up somehow.

Yeah I reckon that makes sense. What do you do to keep from damaging the studs? I've always heard just screw one of the lugs on and pound on it.

That's all I do is screw them down flush and give them a smack.
