FWIW- I order extra front wheel seals to keep on hand for these situations- they are 1/4 the cost of local sources to add to an existing online parts order.

Thanks guys. I'll just see if I can get the seals at a local parts store, if they have them in stock.
I'm also concerned about mixing wheel bearing grease if I do repack. I bought this:
Would this be sufficient to repack the bearings with or at least "throw a little extra on?" Or should I save it for new bearings, OR simply wait till the dealership opens next time to get some MB High Temp Anti-Friction Grease?
