As the title says. I am going to replace my brake rotors, as they are worn. Do I need to replace my wheel bearings as well? Is there a simple test to see if they are good to go as they are?

Front wheel bearings are inexpensive. You've got to put on new inners in the front with new rotors! But do the front outers too! Rears used to be around $50 or so each.
Takes a press and some grease to replace and repack them. But, if you don't know the history of your current ones It's not worth fusing a rotten overheated inner race to an axle spindle! This is no fun! Been there! Done that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Zach your welcome to use the press hear at the shop! Sorry I'm so far away (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
