2004 front rotors

Do the front rotors come with the bearings in them if getting new ones
on the 04s 2wheel drive xlt 5.4 screw
or are they like the older rotors you just clean them repack with grease and install in new ones
Have not removed rotors on any 04
Thanks

Yes there are sealed bearing in the front rotors. You will need new spindle nuts because they are one time use only and they run $25.00 a piece.

Correct, What rotors are you going to be putting on?

I just put on stoptechs on my truck and I love them....

Not sure what rotors may use ford in front will talk to my friend at Midas as hell do the job this time
What happens if you reuse the spindle nuts they have a ajustable cap and cotter pin like my 88 had.

Not quite sure what your saying in the first part. As for re-using they have a cotter pin and a dust shield (not a castlenut), it's a nylock nut. I don't think anything would happen but I would never tell someone to reuse when I wouldn't. They tighten with a 36mm deep socket if think the torque is 295 ft/lbs.
