[QUOTE="NDwalleyes, post: 34642, member: 218"] I've been down this road also. Mine story was roadside in the DL area at o'dark thirty with mosquitos eating me alive. The solution I use is to replace seals every 2 years, inspect bearings (Timken) and races and then repack. I spent $10 on a bearing packer and that is nice. Once you do it enough times it only takes about an hour a side. I also bought a small Rubbermaid tub for when I travel, and in it I keep my grease gun, extra tube of grease, a tub of grease, extra set of bearings and races that are buried in the tub of grease (so they don't rust), can of break cleaner, paper towels, a $3 plastic parts pan to set parts in. I also bought a replacement hub set at walmart for $40 or what ever they cost. Gives you peace of mind. Like someone mentioned, the tough part is finding the proper size of bearings, races and seals you need in a small town. [/QUOTE]
