I removed and re greased the front cv joints today and now need to replace the right front wheel bearing. I recall watching a video that showed how to remove and install the bearing. I cannot find this video, does anyone know where to find it. I believe Jim Bounds had something to do with the video.

Mike, Rob, and Gene
Thanks for the replies that was the video. I saved the location to a note
book so I will have it next time, or if anyone else needs to know.
I am just amazed how Rob seems to always comes up with the right info in a
short amount of time!
Jim, I am in contact with a Black List Member who has the "Bearing Tool",
thanks for the offer though.

Bruce,
Thanks for the compliment, as a Field Rep for Hamilton Standard I did it
professionally for thirty years!
For some reason my grey matter data base index of GMC reference material has
escaped the ravages of CRS and CRAFT! ;-)
Mike, Gene and others are real good at remembering where good info is
stashed! Gene especially he's constantly updating his website with new
goodies.
I would say something nice about JimK but if I do I'm afraid his head will
swell up and burst! ;-)
Regards,
Rob M.

BUT, do you have access to the guide tool for drilling the hole for a zerk to grease the bearing without disassembly?

It just doesn't seem to be the best use of time to NOT do it when you have the knuckle disassembled.

Mike, I am very fortunate in that the knuckles already have the grease
zerk.

Bruce,
A just-in-case note:
When the Zerk was installed, the spacer between the bearings should
have been modified with grooves on its outer circumference. Don't
forget to modify the NEW spacer in the same way. DO NOT be tempted to
use the old, already modified, spacer with the new bearings -- that
would very likely upset the necessary pre-load on the bearings.
