Default Changing rotors....QUESTION
Just purchased new drilled / slotted rotors for my 99. Can someone please let me know if I have to change the seals. I would assume that they are pressed on and once removed from the original rotors they are no longer any good. Please advise.

Not sure what seals you mean. There are none. You pull the calipers and brackets off and the rotor is just hanging by the wheel studs.

I assumed there was a seal between the axle and the rotor.
