Wheel bearings are crucial components that allow the wheels to rotate smoothly around the axle, reducing friction between the wheel and the suspension system. The rotor, part of the disc brake system, is a flat, circular metal disc that the brake pads clamp onto to create friction and slow down the vehicle. Together, properly functioning wheel bearings and rotors are essential for safe and effective braking and vehicle handling. Regular inspections can help ensure they remain in good condition and prevent potential failures.
Rotor not usually necessary, but new hub is generally part of bearing now.
To change the wheel bearings on an Infiniti Q45, first, safely lift the vehicle and remove the wheel. Next, detach the brake caliper and rotor, then remove the hub assembly to access the wheel bearings. Use a bearing puller to extract the old bearings and press in the new ones, ensuring they are properly seated. Finally, reassemble the hub, rotor, caliper, and wheel, and lower the vehicle back to the ground.
When you change rotor or main ball joint, or when they get worn.
