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...
