Wheel bearings and brake rotors
The wheel bearing is integrated with the brake rotor, right?
So, if I buy new brake rotors, will I get bearings aready in them or will I have to get bearings seperately, pack the grease myself, and press them in myself?
I don't hve a bearing press, I don't think a hammer or teh bottom of my shoe counts either.

Normally don’t get bearings with new rotors.
You’ll probably need to press in the inter and outer bearing races on the new rotors, they are the only item pressed into the rotor. You’ll need to pack the bearings with grease.
And don’t forget the dust seals!
Wish I had my Haynes manual handy so I could provide more technical info.

I have both the Haynes and Factory book. I can see how they go together, I was just wondering if they were sold together as some calipers are sold with pads.
Bearings are sold separately, pardners. There's very little pressing involved. Tighten the axle nut until you feel drag when you spin the rotor, then back off a bit.
