Ron,
The 2008+ front disk bolts to the back of the hub like earlier ones, but I've never seen it sold separately
The 2008+ front wheel bearings are serviced like earlier ones. Clean, Pack, New Seals, Nut, Nut Keeper, Cotter Key the Dust Cap
If AutoZone's picture of Raybestos 68068 rear rotor is correct, the late model rotor is separated from the hub to replace.
I'm not aware that the rear brakes get replaced by the 4*4 conversion shops, so those of us with New front brakes still have Old rear brakes, and the Master Cylinder still works with new fronts.
BUT!!! Talking Rear brakes, the E350 DRW rear brake design differs from E450, at least in certain years. For one thing, the older E450's have the parking brake on the back of the transmission. E350 has parking brake shoes and so does the newer E450.
