Do you have to replace the front bearings if you want to convert a 100-6
to disc brakes??

Or what do you have to replace to convert drum to disc??

G'day

Not quite correct. Only BN6s fitted with disc wheels will have ball type
front wheel bearings. 

Ball type bearings were used on the BN1 and six-cylinder Austin-Healeys
fitted with disc wheels.

It is possible to convert them, but you will have to do a little
machineing
and shopping around for the right size taper roller bearings.
