Just bought a 96 Bronco and I am replacing the front brakes. The rotors are to thin to turn so I am replacing. My question is if I need the hub/rotor assembly or if the rotor can be separated. I believe the assembly is what I need since mine was made after 05/1995 but parts suppliers sell it either way.

I can't be sure about the 95 ones but I know my old 81 dana 44 front hub and rotor could be separated,once the tire hub locking mechanism and brakes were out of the way I needed to remove the hub lock nut with the dana 44 hub socket, remove the hub and rotor assembly from the spindle then after removing the Wheel studs it should separate.

it is important to follow the tq specs exactly when reinstalling the hub lock nut because over tightening will cause bearing failure, and under tightening.... well lets just not go there.

Hope this helps and good luck.

yo; look @ this;

Rotors, Wheel Bearings, and Warn Premium Hub (Swap) Replacement in a 95; (but his TORQUES are off a bit). miesk5 NOTE: "Word for word from Haynes Manual Ford Pickups and Bronco 1980 - 1996 Using a lockout spanner (ford # T59T-1197-B or equivalent ) and a torque wrench, tighten the inner bearing adjusting nut to 50 foot pounds while rotating the wheel back and forth and seating the bearing. Back off the adjusting nut approximately 45 degrees. Assemble the lock washer by turning the inner lockout to align the pin with the nearest hole in the lock washer. To lock it, install the outer lock nut and tighten it to 150 foot pounds. Grab the top of the tire with one hand and the bottom of the tire with the other. Move the tire in and out on the spindle. End play should be less than .006 – inch.)" thanks to Chris!!!!

'80-96 rotor replacement requires removing the hub assembly & driving out the lug studs. On '93-96 Broncos only, the tone ring must be removed.

On '87-early '88 with factory (******-style) manual hub locks, the hub-rotor is one piece.

REASSEMBLY!!!

1. Set the rotor onto the back of the hub.

2. Drive the lug studs through both.

3. If applicable, install the tone ring.

4. Drop the packed inner wheel bearing into its race in the back of the hub, & apply a ring of grease to its visible surface.

5. Install the appropriate inner wheel seal.

6. Flip the assembly & apply a heavy ring of grease to the area between the bearing races in the hub.

7. Slip the hub onto the spindle, keeping as much grease as possible inside.

8. Fill as much of the hub as possible with grease, up to the outer wheel bearing race.

9. Slip the packed outer bearing onto the spindle, centering the hub around it so it goes in all the way.

10. Leaving any excess grease in place, install the wheel bearing adjusting nut(s) according to the appropriate procedure.

11. Fill the area between the nut(s) & hub wall with grease, NOT to extend outboard of the nuts.

12. Install any necessary hardware & the hub locks.

Seal for 95-96; "...The spindle bearing seal is 3 pieces (1 rubber & 2 hard plastic), but it's only shown in this diagram as parts #2 & 3. http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/registry/media/277564. I wouldn't be surprised if the aftermarket (old-style) part isn't identical to OE, but it's functionally identical.."

Spindle & Seal Part Numbers for 95-96; "...Due to a bonehead I let do the balljoints on my 96 last year, I had to replace a spindle on my 96 this year (long story... dont ask). Anyway in the process of trying to locate a new spindle, I learned some things.. First is that if your build date (located on the sticker on the drivers side door striker pillar) is AFTER 05-95 you will have a very hard time sourcing a spindle from a local place ... including the dealer. Neither carquest , napa or any other parts outlet even listed the part... Ford told me that a pre 05-95 spindle was available (at a cost of about 360.00) They told me that there were four post 5-95 build date spindles available as dealer stock.. two were at dealers in wisconsin and two in either ny or nj (dont remember which). Then the parts guy ( friend of mine) told me that they were being sold for 650.00 each because they were "no longer serviced by ford" (ford was no linger getting them from supplier) He then suggested a dana/spicer wholesaler out of Billings, Mt (fairly local to me) called Inland Truck Parts Company. I called Inland. They wanted a bill of material number from my axle (located on a sticker on the back side of the passenger side axle beam... its shown as the "dana part #"). I gave them the number and the guy told me they were still available from dana/spicer. best part was the cost.. $162.00 and change... it cost me 173.00 with three day ups. The dana part # of this spindle is 75304x. Its for 95-96 bronco-f150 w/front abs I got the part in three days , was the correct replacement and had no problems. If you are having problems finding the correct replacement spindle pm me and I can help.. ALso, these spindles come loaded with the correct spindle bearing and spindle seal. There is a seal that is only used on 95-96's ( i think) as well that is located on the axle stub shaft. It is not the metal "slinger" type piece with seal, but a one piece rubber seal that is a primary seal that is seated on the stub shaft and rides on the back side of the spindle. It is a smaller version of the forsheda seal that attaches to the otside of the spindle and rides on the inner wheel hub seal. This seal is ford part # f3tz1s175bba. Again, any questions and pm me , I will try to help cause I know these newer parts are confusing and hard to find..."

Spindle & Seal Part Numbers for 95-96; "...Ford has replaced some of the numbers with seals that are not correct. When I did mine last year (96, not sure how closee to yours), the parts guy new his stuff and said when they crossed some numbers they didn't get it right. I went to five dealers and each had the same problem. Don't go to Pep Boys and get the seals they sell. Even though they are Chicago Rawhide, same as Napa relabel, they are not the better ones. The parts they have are a very cheap version, which may work, but I wouldn't trust. Napa had to order in the 25009, but they got it in a day. As far as seal 3, the one I got new from Ford was one piece, but the one that came out broke into the three pieces. If you get the Ford one, you will see how easy it is to snap apart. Seal 2 is actually a smaller version of seal 6, but the oneFord parts guy said that they don't have a replacement. Fortunately Napa has one. They have one part D3TZ3C132A that they try to sell.

Spindle Differences 94-95; "...In addition to the ~'92 loss of a spindle stud (leaving 5) and the addition of 2 notches in the spindle ****** for the 4WABS sensor used on '93-96 Broncos only, the spindle was also redesigned in ~'95..."

Thank you to those that sent advice I have gone over all of it. My Bronco is a 96 I bought it 3 weeks ago and have been doing needed maintenance. The truck has a "death wobble" above 40mph, we put it on the lift and checked bushings and they look old but nothing was blown out, alignment is ok. I know the rotors are worn and warped which adds to wobble on stops. I decided to replace wheel and spindle bearings during the brake job. I started the brake job (last owner converted to Mile Marker hubs).

First problem, he didn't convert the lock nuts and still has the auto hub nut and clip but nothing else. He was too cheap to get the socket instead he chisled the nut in place so the nut is all chewed up. And the lock c-clip fell out, no washer spacer to hold it in place. The nut was so tight he crushed the new Timken bearing case he installed. Since I didn't have a replacement set of lock nuts, found them at Jeff's $10 a side, I had to carefully chisled the nut back in while I get parts.

I have a few more questions.

1. Are the M/M lock outs supposed to have the spring inside? Held in behind cam with lock ring.

2. I ordered the spindle bearing kit from Jeff's do both seals in the kit go inner/behind the spindle?

I ask because I didn't pull the spindle yet but it had a outer seal next to the wheel bearing seal. This seal is worn any recomendations on a parts store that sell the outer spindle seal?

3. Once I change the lock nuts should I tighten them the 50lb, back 45 degree, add lock and second nut, tighten to 150 lbs method?

Any other tips are welcome.

Thanks Guys

Remove the front disc brake hub and rotor (1102) and front wheel bearing (1216) from the front wheel spindle (3105).

Inspect the outer spindle hub rolling diaphragm seal for F-150 and Bronco only. If necessary, pry off using a screwdriver.

NOTE: Relieve the suction between the axle shaft rolling diaphragm seal (RDS) and the front wheel spindle by gently lifting the seal lip away from the back of the front wheel spindle which will allow the front wheel spindle to slip off the axle shaft.

Remove the nuts retaining the front wheel spindle to the steering knuckle. Tap the front wheel spindle with a nylon or rawhide hammer to jar the front wheel spindle from the knuckle. Remove the front disc brake rotor shield (2K004).

On the left side of the vehicle remove the shaft and joint assembly by pulling the assembly out of the carrier.

http://www.thedieselstop.com/faq/9497faq/maint/stj/images/e9083a.gif

On the right side of the carrier, remove and discard the keystone clamp from the shaft and joint assembly and the stub shaft.

NOTE: Since the splines on the shaft are not phased, the shaft and joint assembly and slip-yoke must be marked to maintain U-joint phasing during assembly.


Slide the rubber boot onto the stub shaft. Mark the shaft and slip-yoke to maintain U-joint phasing during assembly. Pull the shaft and joint assembly from the splines of the stub shaft.

Inspect the sealing surfaces of the front wheel spindle for severely corroded, pitted, worn or galled sealing surfaces. Replace front wheel spindle if damaged.
http://www.thedieselstop.com/faq/9497faq/maint/stj/images/e71331a.gif

Installation

Clean all dirt and grease from the bearing bore of the front wheel spindle. Bearing bores must be free from nicks and burrs.

NOTE: Replacement spindle bearings are shipped with a corrosion-preventive gel. This is not a lubricant. The bearing must be cleaned and replaced with the specified lubricant.

Install a new needle bearing with writing facing outward in the bore of the front wheel spindle with Spindle Bearing Replacer T80T-4000-R on the Dana 50, or T80T-4000-S for the Dana 44 and Driver Handle T80T-4000-W. Lubricate the bearing with High Temperature 4x4 Front Axle and Wheel Bearing Grease E8TZ-19590-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M1C198-A.

http://www.thedieselstop.com/faq/9497faq/maint/stj/images/e7137b.gif

NOTE: Since the splines on the shaft are not phased, the shaft and joint assembly and slip-yoke must be marked to maintain U-joint phasing during assembly.

On the right side of the carrier, install the rubber boot and new keystone clamps on the stub shaft slip-yoke.

Align the mark (made during removal) in the slip-yoke barrel with the mark on the shaft and joint assembly.

Slide the right shaft and joint assembly through the knuckle and into the slip-yoke making sure the splines are fully engaged.

Slide the boot over the assembly and crimp the keystone clamp using Keystone Clamp Pliers T63P-9171-A.

On the left side of the carrier slide the shaft and joint through the knuckle and engage the splines on the shaft in the carrier.

NOTE: Make sure the grease seal lip totally encircles the front wheel spindle.


NOTE: Lightly coat the splindle RDS seal lip and its mating surface on the hub and rotor with High Temperature 4x4 Front Axle and Wheel Bearing Grease E8TZ-19590-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M1C198-A.

Install the front disc brake rotor shield and front wheel spindle onto the steering knuckle. Install and tighten the nuts of the front wheel spindle to 68-81 Nm (50-60 lb-ft) for Model 50 axle or 47 Nm (35 lb-ft) for Model 44 axle.

Got the correct locking nut sets from Jeff's, $10 a side, and put new bearings, rotor/hubs, and pads on. The death wobble is solved. I still have a tough time that the previous owner replaced the bearings but crushed the cages by putting them on so tight?

On to the next item on my list, the back window, I am making progress by reading posts on that issue.

Thanks for the info.
