do rear discs need bearings?

i ordered 2 rear discs for my 2.0 8v cupra (the hub type discs) and was wondering if they need bearings pressing into them? they have very odd looking bore inside the hub part of the discs. :confused: there seems to be 2 seperate bearings on the old ones, inside and outside.

Telford ay it...
Don't think the bearings are much, when I changed mine the first time around I used the bearings out the old disks. Best go new though.

2 bearings one each side. They are taper rollers so you tighten the hub nut just enough to take out the play.

the bearings did come out my old disc quite easily..... was going to just put it back together in the disc but the bearings didnt seem to fit right, am i right in saying there is only one type of bearing for the ibiza?
