Do I need bearing job to Replace my Rotors

I am planing to change my front/rear rotors/pads this weekend. I think front is simple just take to old out and put the new in.

How about the rear ? I know when onepoint8tee replaced his rears, he had to replace the bearings too, not just like plug-n-play. Is it same for my car too ?

He got fwd, I have quattro.

Any body ?

Thanks

Guess not.. Your lucky. Doing my rear bearings probably took an hour all together (just to press in the bearings and being "careful".) Your brakes will be easy and fast, just rent the caliper tool to save time even though it can be done without it as some say.. Took me about 1 min to turn the pistons in on each rear caliper with that tool, if you remember.
