Hi guys, want to replace rotors on a f150 2wd. I think that has the outer and inner bearing. Will I have to knock out the inner and outer races on the old rotor and put it in the new roter?Should I use new races and bearings on the new rotor? Thank you

Do not reuse bearings and races install new in new rotor hand pack bearings with hi temp grease and new grease seal.

I sometimes use the OLD BEARINGS to press or drive in the new races, if a suitable "pusher" is not available to do it.

I don't know how "Proper" that is, but I have had no problems doing it!
