Front wheel bearing question
 

I am about to replace the front brake rotors on my 87 3/4 ton suburban.
When I get the new rotors, I will need to replace the wheel bearings at the same time. My question is: what all will I need? Looks like I need inner and outer bearings as well as seals. Do I need inner and outer bearings, and inner and outer seals as well?

It should be:
Outer race
Outer bearing
Inner race
Inner bearing
Inner seal

You may want to pick up a new nut, washer, and dust cap.

Doing a disc brake swap on my 70. Have parts from an 83. Here is what is on my shopping list if the rotors / bearings need to be replaced.

I'd think that's about it. I assume the new rotors will have the races in there?

Inner, Outer bearings and a seal. New dust cap, cotter pin and nut.

Some rotors do but most do not. CHeck the part description carefully. ANd don't buy cheap bearings if you plan to keep the truck.

I buy national bearings n they come with races. My rotors did too but I hit out the new preinstalled ones and just used them to install my national ones. Didn't do that one time n they didn't last 2 weeks.

New rotors come with cheap Chinese races, always replace with quality races and bearings
