HJ61 Replace front hubs (1 Viewer)

[metro55]

I need some advice before I fit new hubs...
I am re-building my front end, swivel hub bearings etc and decided to replace the front hubs too as I could see a pronounced groove where the seal sits at the back of the hub.
Then though stuffit, I fit new rotors too.
OnlineAutoParts are super good to deal with great prices and fast delivery.
I have just started to look at finishing the job and have noticed.

There are no bolt holes in the new hubs so you can bolt the rotors to them.
Is this safe?

What is should look like

don't they get held on by the pressed in lug bolts?

Thanks kevin,
I figured that once I started stripping down the old hub/rotor combo to shift the studs over to the new one.
I still question why then did Toyota bolt them together and from what I can see still do.
If I remember correctly though one of my vehicles in the past the rotors just slid on to the studs. Not pressed fit.
I'll fit them up and hope...

IIRC, the new rotors from Toyota don't have those holes anymore, either. They were probably just an assembly/disassembly aid.

Thanks Spike,
I was going to drill and tap a thread today.... But will now just fit them up. Really want the old girl back on the road.
3" exhaust booked in for next week...
Thanks for the feedback...
