Front rotors question

Right, you're thinking of older cars, including third gens, where the hub assembly came off with the rotors, and you had to periodically repack the wheel bearings. 4th gens have sealed hubs as mentioned which don't require any maintenance (though of course when they go, you have to replace the hub assembly, which isn't cheap).

When you reassemble the brakes make sure you lube up the sliders (pins) and replace all the seals on them. I had one sieze up and it was a pain in the ***, had to get a new front caliper bracket.
It's also a good idea to flush your brake fluid. They make different colors so it's easy to tell when you get all the old fluid out. I also bought Earl's solo bleeders and it made the flush easy to do by myself.
