Morning everyone. Going to be replacing rotors on my '99 soon, just wondering if I should go ahead and change out the wheel bearings/seals while I have it apart. I know the most reasonable answer is "depends on their condition" but I'm trying to have everything together for this job so I don't have to do any running around in the middle of it. If it's likely that new bearings are needed, I'll get them.

I can't say how long the rotors have been on there, but at least the 3 years I've owned the vehicle anyway. Anything else I should be replacing while I'm in there?

Any and all replies welcome, thanks.

 

the 2 wheel drive units do not have hubs with sealed bearings. You can remove your bearings, clean, repack with grease, and they should run basically forever. If you presently have no noise or dragging, cleaning and regrease should do it. ......... but they don't cost much if new parts make you feel better.

 

Yep, I knew it was possible to clean and regrease these bearings, just wasn't sure if I was better off replacing them at this point anyway. I may do so because as you said, they're not expensive anyway. Thanks.
