Will any B body of the same year hub assembly fit my 72 delta 88?
One of my lug nuts snapped off and the other bolts are threaded cant find anything online. Will a 72 impala hub assembly fit or anything else at all?

You can replace the studs.

Middian

Kind of rather just replace the assembly.

oldcutlass

If yours is fine there is no need to replace it for a broken stud, but ... I moved your post to parts wanted. I doubt if you'll find one new.

You can buy that Hub & Rotor Assembly --complete -- from ANY local parts store ...it is VERY Commonly available -- it fits the entire 1971 - 1976 GM Full Size world, i.e. Impala, Olds 88 / 98 , Pontiac Bonneville, etc., etc.,,,,


And.... individual studs CAN be replaced individually -- a whole lot less expensive.....your call........

Is it a disc brake car? I was assuming drums.

mpolds

A 1971 - 1976 Olds Full Size was -- ONLY -- a Front Disc / Rear Drum Car.
And the Hub & Rotor Assembly is commonly available -- unfortunately only Chinesium now.........

oldcutlass

Well then, yes any auto parts store.

Why? It's only about a metric-gazillion times easier to change one stud than the whole hub.

I guess the holes on my american racing rims where oval due to loose lug nuts and some driving caused one bolt to snap off. Yesterday i was driving home didnt even realize the lug nuts were being loosened til they all came off and my wheel just plain fell off. Now i have a damaged rotor and im not 100 percent sure if the bolts are crooked. The rim is toast right? Ill post pictures tomorrow

MDchanic

The truth comes out...

Yup. Auto parts store has a hub assembly for a 72 impala but no luck for a delta. Will it fit? Thats my real question

MDchanic

Okay, just to clarify, you're looking for the brake rotor here, right?

There is no separate hub on that car, and there's no way that the steering knuckle can be interpreted as a hub, so I kind of figure that's got to be what you want.

Brake rotors for these were also used across the GM line, for all Divisions, including for some Chebby and GMC light duty trucks through 1992

Raybestos 5006R, Bendix PRT1043, or Wagner BD60258 should get you all the interchanges you need.

Brake rotor and whatever part the lug nut bolts are attatched to is what i need

MDchanic

IT'S ALL THE BRAKE ROTOR.

Look at the pictures in the above link.

What size is the large nut that holds the rotor on?

MDchanic

Sorry, I don't recall. It's big enough to just measure it with a ruler, though, if you don't have a set of large sockets.

Middian

I dont have too many tools. was jus gonna buy the socket at the auto parts store. done this job before but rented a stall with stools

oldcutlass

You can carefully use a channel lock pliers or a crescent wrench.

oldolds88

fixed in a bathroom eh? lol

The nut is not torqued down, it's just there to keep the brake and wheel assembly attached to the spindle. When you install the rotor and tighten the nut you need to spin the rotor until you get resistance and then back it off about 1/8 of a turn and install to cotter pin. There needs to be a very minute amount of "slop" so that when the bearings heat up at speed they don't bind up.
So a pair of channel locks will serve you better than an expensive socket that the parts store won't have to rent.
