Replacing rotor question
It's that time to replace the front rotors and pads in the 96.
My question is, how do I tell, hopefully without having to take everything off first, if I need the 2 or 4 wheel ABS rotors?
It's a 96 B4000 Ex cab loaded, 2 wheel drive.
(with the help of the tech info on the front page, this should be a breeze, thanks again ken.)

The anti-lock hydraulic control unit is located in the front of the engine compartment on the left inner fender. Fluid from the brake master cylinder enters the HCU through two inlet ports located at the top of the 4 wheel ABS HCU. The fluid then passes through three normally open inlet valves, one to each wheel in the front and one line to the rear wheels. Rear ABS will only have 3 lines total, the one going to the rear.
