Ken,
The bearings aren't in the rotors, they are in the hubs. The rotors unbolt
from the hubs with four 8mm allen bolts. You don't have to remove or
repack the bearings when you replace the rotors, as opposed to grinding the
rotors, which is done with the rotors on the hubs, and the bearings get
contaminated with grinding dust.
