72 Duster Resurrection

So if you decide on new bearings, that is your call if they are iffy looking when you clean and inspect them, or you just feel better with new ones. If you do this, Replace the outer races in the hubs too.

The only time you wouldent do that, is if you buy a new rotor, and new bearings, because the new rotor already has races pressed in, and neither the bearings or the races have and wear patterns on them yet.

Just an FYI, I have 160K on my 94 chevy pickup. I have owned it since new. Every time it needs a front brake job, i clean and repack the inner and outer wheel bearings. They look fine every time w usual wear pattern, i stick em right back in. Truck still has the OEM Timkins it came with 24 years ago. You would be surprised. Some of that older stuff is made better than the new auto parts store replacement.

You might could take the part numbers off your old bearings if replacing them, and go to a bearing supply store, and get the exact same part number replacements.
