I may have not been cleared enough on my last email so I'll try again.

My 85 2wd Vanagon is in need of front and rear brakes. It needs them both badly.

My question is: When replacing rotors and drums do new bearings need to be bought?

I do not know that the old ones would be reusable or transferable to the new parts. Advice is appreciated.

Thanks, Tony
