Here is an email from Harry Ludlow of Tire Discounters about a bench brake lathe adapter to machine rotors 2004- Ford F150 . With a lot of fleets buying the 2WD version of the F150, you may find yourself in the same position.
But, I hate to say this, buying an on-the-car-lathe maybe a better long-term solution for dealing with trucks with integral bearing/captured rotors. The GM Canyon and Colorado useing the same set-up.
Dear BRAKE & FRONT END,
At some point last year I saw an ad in your magazine from a brake lathe manufacturer that featured an adapter for the 2004 and up Ford F150 2WD brake rotor with an integral bearing. The adapter allowed the rotor to be turned on a bench lathe. I am hoping that someone at your organization can provide me with contact information for that manufacturer.
Thanks
