My car's rear disc brakes are worn, and need replacing. I noticed that when removing the hub (hub and disc are a single piece) the bearing came out with it. The auto fitment guys said that replacing these discs is a mechanic's job, as they are not set up to remove/refit the bearing. So have to return to them on Monday, and they'll get a mechanic to do it (one of their neighbouring businesses).

So, my question: should the bearing be replaced with a new one, or can the old one be re-used (assuming it is still in good nick)?
