Rear wheel bearing questions

[packetstormin]

So I will be installing new rear rotors and pads and wonder if I should replace my rear wheel bearings while I am at it? My rig is a 2000 and has about 197,000 miles on it. I know the rear wheel bearings are sealed and should last considerably longer than the front bearings, but my gut is telling just to bite the bullet and replace them at this mileage.

Thoughts?

If it was me I'd trust my gut and replace em while you got it apart.

Fill it gas and drive it.

You will need to look for a very large press to service the bearings.

What Phil said. The sealed SF bearings are massive and expensive and lifetime parts.

Swap rotors and pads and go buy some beer.

What Phil said. The sealed SF bearings are massive and expensive and not quite lifetime parts.

Swap rotors and pads and go buy some beer.

Fixed it for you

The press is only the beginning...
