ECE front rotors

[1969 Project]

Does anyone know if the ECE rotors come with the inner bearing race already installed?

Ever rotor I have seen comes with both races installed. Since EEC only re-boxes the rotors, I would bet they have installed races.

I am doing the 5 lug conversion so I needed to get the new rotors.
Also I installed the new bearings and when I spin the rotor it seems to have some drag in it, is this normal as it sounds a little noisy.

You want drag with new bearings, but it's hard to diagnose a noise. There is a noise as the rollers turn and everything is snugged down, but i'm not sure I can describe it.

The bearings are packed well with grease, right?

If this is something you've never done, check out youtube videos for installing new wheel bearings. Some are better than others, but if you watch a few, they should all have a pretty common theme.

I have it's just been a while but it is the first time I've worked on a vehicle this old. I was sure to pack the bearings with grease. I did follow the manual as far as torque to set the bearings and back the nut off. I am hoping to be able to get her running this week so I'll know more once she is moving on all fours. Thanks for the info guys, cheers!

No need for ECE rotors just parts store for the 5 lug and much cheaper. You should have some drag from the seal and the thick grease in the bearings. If I get a rotor with a bearing in it I pull it out and pack them the way I like it to ensure it has enough grease.
