      Default Wheel bearings/races

      I have gathered all the parts to upgrade the front brakes on my LTD wagon to the '87-up larger discs. The disc/hub assemblies are new and come with bearing races installed. The bearings are also new and come with new races. Is it necessary to drive out the installed races and use the races that came with the bearings? My thoughts are that the bearings come with races in the event that they being installed in a previously used hub and since the races in these hubs are new it should be alright to use them. Any opinions on this?

      They are not a matched set, just a race and a bearing. Use that ones that came in the hub, easier and you don't risk damage driving them in.
