brake replacement
The front rotors on my 2000 excursion (2wd) are warped bad...
Do the rotors come off of the front separate from the bearings, etc, or do I have to totally disassemble the front, replace the bearings, etc when I replace the rotors?
I'll do pads at the same time even though they are not worn out.
Thanks
John

oops.. that's wrong.. on the 2wd, the rotor is not separate from the hub. I'll need to put new bearings/races in.
On the rear and on 4wds, the rotor is separate, just take off the wheel and caliper and the rotor will come off.

Stainless hoses are not a requirements. There are some drawbacks to them, so be careful...
I've had them on several cars and like them, but they have some drawbacks, like: The steel braid can internally chafe, they stainless housing will chafe other things. You can't see damage to the hose until it's too late, etc.
Basically there are a bunch of opinions on the subject, so do what you want, but I'd hardly call them a "requirement".
