ok so i just rebuilt my motor. When i was putting it together i pintched one of the orange coolant seal an me like a dumbass didnt change it. So im leaking coolant into my engine. Im getting ready to rebuild it an im waiting on parts. But my main question is I just replaced the rotor bearing would it be safe to press them out an put them into a different set of rotor. They only have about 300 miles on them. The reason im doing this is im using na rotors in my tII so im going to wanna take my new bearins an put them in the na rotors. GOOD OR BAD?

 

i don't really recommend pressing a used bearing into a used rotor.

 

Buy new bearings. I'd much sooner pay $100 for new bearings than try to use old ones and have to rebuild again in a matter of months or less, and if they went bad you'd be replacing more than just the bearings, too.

 

the bearings were replaced when i rebuilt the motor they only have 300 miles on them. there not the orignal bearings.

 

Then they are USED. They have gone through heat cycles, and pressing them out will likely damage them enough to make them unsuitable for reuse, even if they come out straight there will be material taken off the outer face of the bearing increasing the likelihood of spinning a bearing if reused. If you want to get rid of the rotors they're currently in then that's yet another reason just to leave them there.

 

buy new bearings. they get distorted when you push them out...

 

I see the future!!!

 

buying new bearings will give you piece of mind if anything. you can reuse them but its not reccomended if you are removign them from the rotor and installing them onto another rotor. thats just asking for trouble if you're not careful

 

yeah im just going to buy new ones an start from new. only 50 bucks not to much

 

yea, then you can sell you old rotors with 'new' bearings!
