Brake rotor replacemenet question???

Hi!
I need your help. I want to replace my front brake rotors. I already bought them and new brake pads.
Do I have to take the wheel bearings out or not. Could somebody please write down what do I have to do to replace the rotors!
Because If I need to take the wheel bearings off (out) I would have to buy some new.
Thanks in advance!

Yes the outer bearings will have to come off before you can remove the rotor. If you are changing the rotors and pads, you should, for the small amount of money they are, replace the bearings also. You will need to install an inner bearing and seal on the back of the rotor anyways.

New seals and bearings are cheap insurance.

I'm putting on my GT Rotors tonite and the old ones will get pulled and stored as they come off.
