Why were the rotors separated from the hubs?  I pull the whole works and have it turned as a unit. And pardon my skepticism, but that price for rotors seems a bit steep, even for GM.

I have a 91 GMC Sierra 4X4.  I just had to spend $400 getting a brake job. Just wanted to let everyone know that if you need to have drums and rotors turned, you are SOL.  I was told by GM that because when you pull the rotors, the holes where the studs come through get out of round.  There is no fix kit for this.  You have to buy the whole new drum/rotor, studs and lugs.  The price is $650 each for front rotors and $370 for front rotors for a grand total of $2,000 for a brake job.
