new rotor & bearings install ?

I have a 80 2 wheel dr. and had a semi bad rotor so decided to change both and bearings anyway,but I have to go up north[,400 miles] I have a couple days till I leave, so will they seat a little more,and should I re-check the pre-load when the truck is hot or cold.I get paranoid when I do something just before I leave.First 100 miles is, whats that noise.I,ll bring my laptop and someone will tow me home before a cougar gets me, HA

There is no reason the have to re-check them. If they were right in the first place, they will be fine.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
