Uhhhh, I have done a million of these and I have never taken apart the bearings. You can just replace the pads and rotors without touching the seals or bearings. I had a 124 for over 200k and the wheel bearings were never touched. The grease they use is very tough and they just hold up. I have only seen two fail in 10 years.
