Default Wheel bearing replacement and brake rotor replacement don't go hand in hand

You can easily replace the rotors without touching any wheel bearings.

Default Won't save much time doing them together, I have 128.5k miles on my front bearings and they're fine

Unless they are making noise or have play in them I'd wait.

To replace the bearings you'll either need to pull the whole suspension upright and use a press to swap the bearings, or buy/rent a special on car bearing puller tool.

Default It's not an easy job.

Having a press is ideal, there are some diy type tools available like hub shark, if you wish to tackle it yourself.
It's more of a replace when broken type part, then a preventative maintenance like a timing belt.

I wouldn't worry about it until it becomes a problem.
