I'm a bit disappointed at the omission of the following points:

1) The inner wheel bearing was not removed and cleaned and repacked.

2) The outer wheel bearing was removed, but not cleaned and repacked.

3) The contact surfaces where the pads ride on the calipers were not thoroughly cleaned and greased.

4) The setting of the clearance via the hit or miss method is fraught with risk for a new mechanic who has never done it. If the bearing is tight, it won't last 1000 miles.
