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?

Re: Front wheel bearing question

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.

Wheel Seal 3 SKF https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...032567&jsn=656
IWB + Race 11 SKF https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...032567&jsn=706
OWB 13 SKF https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...428&cc=1032567
OWB Race 8 SKF https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...306&cc=1032567
Spndl Nut 8 Dorman https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...581&cc=1032567

Re: Front wheel bearing question

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.

Re: Front wheel bearing question

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.

Re: Front wheel bearing question

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
