I just have a question about putting them on... can I reuse the wheel bearings.. or would I be better off just getting new ones from mazdatrix? is it hard getting them off??? anything else I need to get?? i have my steel braided lines on already.. brake master cylinder was replaced with a new one about 3 yrs ago..and the car is a wkend car now anyways.... btw I ordered them thru mariah.. cheapest place I have found them.. =)

front bearings can usually be repacked and reused on most MacPherson Strut applications, though I confess I've not done so on series 1-3 RX-7s.

Basically look at the condition of the bearings and make a judgement call, provided you know the simple but almost lost art of repacking bearings

 

Question is, do the new rotors come with bearing races in them? I've never been able to get an old race out without damaging it in some way.

I spent like $16 on replacement front bearings/races for my car a few years back.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking. I had ordered a set of cross drilled rotor for the front and back of the car and sent the front one's back because they didn't come with the bearing races and I stuck with good ol stock rotors

 

youll need new bearing seals for when you repack. I Reused my old bearings, they were stock, but okay.
