2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Cracked Rear Brake Rotor

[stg2500]

After removing the rear rotor on the Driver's side, I noticed a crack running from the hub area up through the hole for one of the wheel lugs. I am in the process of replacing the axle seals and bearings due to a leak. Is it safe to reinstall this rotor? Should I install in and get a new one ASAP? Or should I not drive it at all?



Of course this has to happen at 6:00PM on a Saturday night!!!



Thanks for the responses.

If it were me I'd install it and drive very gingerly to the nearest location I could get one. Unless I had another vehicle to shag the part with. Might be a good idea to call ahead to ensure it's in inventory. JMHO



Cheers,

Thanks for the reply OTRPU.



I am going to call NAPA today to see if they have any in stock.
