You do not have to remove the hub in order to replace the disc brake pads or the rotor.
The job is a difficult one without a press, probably best to take it to a garage, I work in one and wouldn't attempt this job at home!

replacing rear wheel bearings on frontera B
Rotor not usually necessary, but new hub is generally part of bearing now.
No, that bearing pack will come off of there with some coaxing
Perhaps excess bearing clearance?
It wasn't specified what the model year this is or which "S" series was asked about, but on my 2001 SL1 the ONLY way to replace the front bearings is removing the front wheel bearing assemblies then taking them, and the new bearings, to a machine shop to have the old bearings pressed out and the new bearings pressed in. Then reattach the hub assemblies to the car. The wheels will also need to be realigned after having to unbolt the front struts to remove the bearing assemblies.
to change carrier bearings in rear differenial you have to remove the rear differential from the vehicle. then remove the cover. remove the bearing caps. remove differential carrier unit. remove bearings. install new bearings. and then reassemble. recommend having a professional repair shop peform repairs
This type of pump bearing: • Antifriction bearings - Single-row, deep-groove ball bearing - Double-row, angular contact ball bearing - Single-row, angular contact ball bearing pair - Cylindrical roller bearings - Spherical roller bearings - Taper roller bearings set • Sleeve bearings* • Pivoted-shoe thrust bearings*
Replacing a wheel bearing in your Chevrolet blazer will cost approximately $175 per bearing. You can save $125 by doing the work yourself.
Not knowing the extent of wear I can't answer that question with any degree of accuracy. I suggest replacing the bad hub/bearing assembly if you can hear the bearing rumble.
AnswerYou will have to do some research. number of manufacturers and their production levels. example: Timken Bearing: produced 2.5 billion ball bearings in 1998. : Stats are their are 80%-90% still in service and those not are in junk yards.You have a lot of work ahead of you if you really need to know this answer.It depends on bearing qualities the manufacturing of bearings depends on demand. the different varieties are-Taper Roller Bearings, Deep Groove Ball Bearings, Cylindrical Roller Bearings, Spherical Roller Bearings, Spherical Thrust Bearings, Clutch Release Bearings, Needle Roller Bearing, Self Aligning Ball Bearings, Angular Contact and Double Row Bearings, King Pin Bearings, UCP Pillow Block, Water Pump Bearing, Ball Bearing Manufacturers, Metal Bearing exporters, Roller Bearing, Needle Bearings, Automotive, Roller High Precision Manufacturers, THRUST BALL BEARING, Automobile Bearing, Thrust Bearing, Roller Bearing Cylindrical Manufacturers, Needle Bearing Cages Manufacturers, Engine Bearings Manufacturers, Elevator Part Bearing Hanger ManufacturersVisit Us At http://www.arb-bearings.com
If you have the repair manual for your vehicle, it should cover this procedure. Simply remove the crank, remove the bearings, and lube new ones before re-installing. Be sure to get the bearings in right. There is a little tab on one end of each bearing that lines up with corresponding notch on block where they sit. DO NOT scratch or mar the bearing surface during installation. Be sure bearing is correctly seated. Reassemble and torque to spec.
