Hey everyone,

Long time, no post. Been super busy. Time to get these projects before fall here in NE actually comes around. It was 90 today!

Since I am going to be replacing my way worn front discs I am going to repack my bearings while Im at it. They are not giving me any problems, just seems like good PM.

I have not repacked any bearings before, except for my rollerblades.

Questions:
1.) I have seen a lot of threads on the subject, is there a pictorial or DIY I have missed? I have the FSM and the Haynes, Id like another opinion.

2.) My car has 200k. Id be shocked if the bearings weren't original. Should I just skip the repack and replace them on principle if they are indeed original. Would this reduce the amount of work Id need to do significantly?

Many thanks,
dd
