Hey everyone, I'm doing an LS1 brake conversion on my LT1 car. I bought a set of used spindles, calipers, brackets, and new rotors. Should I replace my wheel bearings in the front? and how much do they cost? Can/should I reuse my stock LT1 wheel bearings?

Personally, being they are expensive, if they spin and don't have a dry bearing sound, I would reuse them. They aren't too hard to change later if they go bad. If you got money burning a hole in your pocket and don't want to be bothered by possibly having to change them later, buy new ones.

Thanks man, really wanted to know if they were interchangeable. I'll regrease and reuse 'em then!

TORK?

Not sure if you can regrease them. I think they are sealed units? Not 100% tho.

Mine were sealed on my full size chevy and were +200 per!

The wheel bearings are sealed and not greasable. If they don't have any play, leave them alone. Cost from parts stores is $100-150 a piece.
