1995 Front Rotors?????????
This may sound like a stupid question, but do I need to remove the bearings from the hub to replace my old rotors on my 1995 F150???? Any help is appreciated!!!

4x4?
If so knock out the studs and the hub/rotor will separate, once you mount the new rotor to the hub have it turned to true it to the hub.
Use a lug nut backwards to draw the studs back in all the way.
They will need the bearing raceway's in to turn them so leave em in for that.

It would stand to reason the 2 wheel drive hubs would be made the same but I never had one in this series so I couldn't say for sure.
Last 2 wheel drive truck I had was a '70, that was many years ago and I would have bought junk yard rotors for it, would have been hub and rotor complete.

Well put . Get A Manual to help u . Will need the large hub wreck (Or barrow one) Just take time and lay out stuff u take off so easy to put back.
U will need new seal but u can clean repake bearings if they look OK .
Like said once rotor /hub is off lay flat on floor and tap out wheel studs.
Good luck

If you are replacing your old rotors with new ones, and I'm assuming it is not a 4x4, I would replace the 4 bearings and 2 seals. You can use your old bearings, but bearings are less than $10 each and seals are even cheaper. All rotors I have replaced already have the studs and inner bearing races pressed into the hub, so no need to press. Just make sure you pack those bearings good. Put on a pair of rubber gloves and get messy!
BTW, Thank You for your service!
