Many people don't know how to properly pack a bearing anyway.
That's why I'm leary about dia-assembling and re-packing. What
if I screw something up?
It's not that hard and the are devices out there that can help pack
bearings.

If you do it by hand, it takes patience. If you use a packing
device, you should do the procedure twice.

It's not that hard.
I just spoke to my boat dealer. $60 for labor to do the whole job, if
I get the parts from them. Sounds like a better deal than trying to
flatbed a busted up trailer.
Pansy.
Maybe, but how much does the "device" cost - the one you mentioned
above?
Maybe $30/40 bucks for one with a grease gun.

I think I paid like $25 bucks for one at NAPA.

OK. I'm listening. What does it do? Hold the bearing in some sort of
enclosure and press the grease in?

I guess my other issue is the mess involved with cleaning the old grease
out of the bearings. Now I have used kerosene, more stinking funnels and
crap to store blah blah blah...

Yes and pansy.

Thanks. You always manage to pump up my self esteem, my little flower.
