Brake pad on inside of front brake wore out and the rotor is fairly
badly gouged. When replacing a 97 Accord disk brake rotor, is it
necessary to press in the wheel bearing or is it possible to just
unbolt the thing.

This is a made in Japan Accord if that makes a difference. Thanks

if you've already taken the wheel off to inspect the disk for gouging,
you should have been able to tell while you were there... if not, with
respect, you shouldn't be thinking of doing any work yourself.
