Not quite sure how a bearing can affect your brakes?

You sure that it's not just quintessence that your brakes failed at the same time :-/

I agree, unless the wheel fell off and then I suppose the brakes probably wouldn't be as effective as usual.

youve obvisly never had trouble with bearings then,
thats how loose it was,
you can normaly tell the bearing is loose because you need to pump the break pedal,
and no it was because of the bearing
