What do I need for front rotor replacement

[StaticTorque]

Going to be replacing my front rotors and pads on my 80. Didn't realize how much bigger of a job it is than the rear. I'm currently trying to figure out what all do I need? Do I need all the inner and outer bearing? The FSM says they are non reusable parts. My front axle was rebuilt right before I bought it almost 2 years ago. I have only done a few very mild off road trips on it since I bought it.

The bearings should always be inspected for nicks and grooves. They’re usually fine though.

You’ll need:
- the big ol socket for the nuts that preloads the bearings
- a torque wrench
- sockets.. duh
-rotor
-Pads
- snack
-friends to watch you get greasy and dirty

in addition to what Squeegee said include the following

New lock washers, you can usually hammer the old ones straight and reuse but for a couple of $ ea just put in new ones
New seals for the inner wheel bearings if the bearings are still good. The seals can be reused if not damaged when removing them though.
Good circlip pliers for that pesky snap ring

Thank you guys! When I’m replacing the rotors will I have to remove the wheel bearings?

Depends on what you mean by remove. If they were serviced pretty recently, as it sounds like they were, you can just pull the hub and leave the bearings in the hub.

You do have to remove the hub from the spindle and the hub has the wheel bearings in it so they are removed from the truck, but you don't have to remove the bearings/races from the hub or even change out the grease if all is good in the hub.

Ah okay, I wasn't sure if they had to come out when I separate the rotor and hub. Was trying to use Otramms video for reference on what I need. Thank you!

If it was me, I would still pull and replace the Hub seal that holds the inner wheel bearing inside the hub. Any time I pull a hub, I replace the seal due to possibilities of cutting or damaging the seal.
