You don't need to change the bearings - you just take the caliper with the bracket off , take the old rotors off and put the new ones in.

If what are asking if it is recommended to change those too since you're there, I don't really know the answer to that.. sorry. I just know I didn't change mine smile.gif

Unlike many fwd cars... the rear bearings on the tib are not individually replaceable.. they come pre-attached to an entire hub unit that will cost you about $80 at any or the usual car part places.

They generally do not go bad, and if they do, they give you LOTS of warning
