The Revcon has 25000 miles. No signs of front wheel bearing problems but I'm thinking i want replace them, or at least, remove, inspect and repack.

From what i've read they are pretty close to the GMC. I'll remove the knuckle and have a machinist friend deal with the removal and pressing.

Is there a better choice than Timken?

What's the best lube?

What do i need to know about adding a Zirk ? (drill, tap, clean hole, apply fitting?)

thanks
