Default RE: Wheel Bearings - Reusable after Removal?

If they bearings are removed properly and they are in good cond.,I would reuse them.
If the bearings are replaced,I bet they could be bought for less at a bearing supply house.
I would not buy any bearings made in CHINA.

BTW,who makes the HD bearings and where are they made?

Locally we have a machine shop that specializes in bearings. My father in law took his old bearings in and they got the number off of them. Same bearings for six bucks I believe.
