Yeah, I'm half thinking that I shoudl just leave the rotors. Other than the rust, they aren't worn that bad... But now that I have everything apart... I may as well just do it right? No sense in revisiting this a year from now.

Exactly. Just do it. I'd even have them turned, a lot of DSMers slack on basic maintenance which could get you in trouble.

Even if the same thing happens to you, and you rip apart a bearing; who cares and pull all the bearings out and have them replaced. I bet you don't know the last time they were.

Yeah, no clue. Although... if I'm honest... Wheel bearing replacement feels beyond my technical ability. Gonna order up the parts today. Hopefully can pick stuff up tomorrow.

You need a press to do them. Don't worry about it unless it happens (99% of the time it won't.)

Meh, Caliper won't be in until Monday or Tuesday. Got one with the bracket bolt that I sheared off. Can't wait to get it back on the road and drive it on a short trip!

Not if you get the full hub assemblies, you don't.

Only the fronts are full hub assemblies, the rears are press in.

And he's working on the fronts. ;)

I did this once, believe me, I am far more familiar than I want to be with cutting things off of and replacing parts that didn't need to be replaced before you touched them on DSM suspension and brakes.

Yeah, unless it seizes up... I'm not gonna do the hub assemblys. Just seems like overkill when the part is still good. I'm just not really comfortable messing with it. My luck... I'd replace them... and then I'd be driving down the road and didn't torque them down hard enough and the whole freaking assembly goes rolling down the road.

Welcome!
I am currently working on the front hub ass. And front suspension, its bulshit.
