Do not reuse bearings and races install new in new rotor hand pack bearings with hi temp grease and new grease seal.

I sometimes use the OLD BEARINGS to press or drive in the new races, if a suitable "pusher" is not available to do it.

I don't know how "Proper" that is, but I have had no problems doing it!
