Advice please

Hi Guys!
Gonna chage my brake pads for the first time since i got my rig 3 1/2 years ago. Was just wondering if people would recommed that i tear apart the calipers and repack the wheel bearing while i'm at it. They havnt been touched since i got it and i've done a lot of muddy offroading. i kinda know what the answer is but i need some encouragement!
Cheers
Delboy

While you are in there you should clean and re-pack the bearings. If a bearing fails you have to do all that work over again. Be sure your rotors are straight also. Once brake rotors warp they just get worse with time untill they make you go crazy.
