Replacing Front Rotors Question

I just did ball joints and tie rods on my 1995 F150. Alignment shop told me I needed new front rotors, pads, and passenger side caliper. Just wondered if I have to take wheel bearings out to get rotors off, should just go ahead and put new wheel bearings in too? I did them 2-3 years ago.

Not unless you find they are bad. Otherwise clean, inspect, repack with grease then reinstall.

Incorrect. The lug studs need to be pressed out to separate the hub from the rotor.
